I was getting swollen tonsils every time I got allergies. And then I'd have to take steroids to get back to normal. 2-3 times a year. So a doctor was thinking about getting me into surgery to have my tonsils taken out which as an adult is a big thing. So they sent me to an ear/nose/throat spec. to check me first.
First thing the bastard did was shove one of those damned camera things down my nose and into my throat. It was one of the most horrible experiences in my life. No pain. Just constant unavoidable gagging. Gagging like you wouldn't believe. And then my stomach started playing along trying to wretch with whole body convulsive spasms. Never felt so weak and inhuman. I wanted to punch that f'er when it was over. 2 things, That woman in the video has some very specific, unique talents.

I recall Michigan Stadium had gone with just peeing against the walls, which had a thin sheen of water running down them. Presumably their fan base peed against the walls by habit, and the university adapted to it. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at December 12, 2025 10:51 PM (ZOv7s) 90

85 The crazy pizza order:
I get it. when my wife was preggers with our first-born, her favorite food was Reese's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream floats with Sprite, and french fries. Second son: Whole milk. Lots and lots of whole milk. But we were in Germany and we had access to high quality milk. Women be weird, yo!

Love the pizza order! With #1 giant son (2oz shy of 10lbs...but he pooped, so I think that counts, due to wrapping the cord around his neck twice:yay for c-sections after a day's labor). I craved Mexican food. I also oddly loved hotdogs with everything on them (I don't like hotdogs normally).
My husband dreamed HE had a c-section for triplet boys and one was blond, the other two Mexican. We did have a Navajo/Mexican college friend who came for dinner that night, so John may be the reason. His dream got two parts correct: the blond single boy and a c-section due to a large head as well as the rest of him. I don't think I was scary, but when I was hungry, do not get in my way. So gigantic (not from the back) that people let me in the front of the lines in stores. Got stuck in a turnstile at the airport picking up my mother (who said she got tears in her eyes seeing me). I got tears in my eyes when frat boys mooed at me in the crosswalk near our house. They were in a convertible and I wanted to jump in and beat them but I was too big. Instead I sobbed and scared my husband until the mooing part when he laughed and then I laughed. Frat bastids. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at December 12, 2025 11:03 PM (WONhk) 109

My grandfather sat back down and said that he flew out of Gander during the war, and there were times when landings were very difficult. Very quiet meal. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

In labor, to attempt to speed it up, we walked it twice. That kid was not coming normally, and I am thankful for the c-section or it would have been bad for him.Back then no sonograms were done unless medically necessary. By the time my OB mentioned a section I did not care if he came out of my ear. The epidural was great! Scheduled section for #2 due to the big head deal from their Daddy.Far less exciting and all was well once again.All done, altho I wanted one more and hubby talked me out of it.

Couldn't watch the nasotube deal as I had it done as a college girl for sinus stuff then surgery. NOPE!
As a RN I used to put tubes into nostrils to stomachs, and was pretty good at this or shoving things into people. No longer done, but I did it when people were bleeding with ulcers and iced saline lavage. Fun times for us all! I was in my 20's but looked 16 and somehow convinced patients I knew what I was doing (I did, but do wonder what they thought as I have always looked younger). Had my RN cap on to prove I was not a candy striper wandering in. No one died on my watch who wasn't supposed to when I was charge nurse. I was very good at starting IV's and liked that.Could still start an IV on anything. I see forehead veins (like Markle's) and want to give it a try. I don't have a forehead vein that bulges like hers, and think it's pretty weird. Nurses are weird this way to size up your veins in public when bored. Or, I am. I also want to advise people to get moles checked. I really should not be loose in public. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at December 12, 2025 11:30 PM (WONhk) 140

I think your husband did way more drugs than I did. Posted by: JackStraw at December 12, 2025 11:34 PM (viF8m) I think he was just freaked out at how things were going. To make it more fun, the baby was 10dys late and I cried every morning he was late. He's still late for many things. I rarely cry. The doc did not want to alarm me the way things were going, but did say the next day he was thankful the kid refused to go further as things would not have turned out so well for the King of the Baby Nursery. My BIL, when he saw me, suddenly had pity he did not have prior. Said, "Wow, it was like you carried a 10lb of potatoes." Indeed. Women are amazing.

149 143 Christy, I found nurses are better at starting IVs than EMTs.
Posted by: Kindltot at December 12, 2025 11:34 PM (rbvCR) For me last year, they had to bring out the vein-finder after I had fluid infiltration at least 3 times (which means they couldn't get a good line three times on a single IV, three times), and they had resorted to poking veins on the back of my hands. In the end, they shoved a line in my open arm into a large blood vessel. I rate this the worst vacation I've ever had. Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at December 12, 2025 11:37 PM (ynpvh) Sounds like they should always bring out the vein finder. Jeez. My favorite vein is the one below your wrist (on the inside: cephalic). Most people have good pipes there and can still use their hands. In the ED they just do it in your inner elbow. We were taught to start in the lower arm to free that one for emergencies. In my 7yrs in the newborn nursery and step down NICU I had to start tiny IV's in baby's scalps. I hated that but did it when I had to. How are you doing? I think you were in the hospital last summer? Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at December 12, 2025 11:47 PM (WONhk) 172

OREGON: At some point we're going to have to re-claim territories.
The nursing ethics board that oversees the licensure of Oregon nurses has decided to take no action against the infamous nurse Camesha Hart, of Beaverton Oregon, who sent messages to Jews calling them “vermin” and “dogs” and saying she doesn’t treat animals. In fact, they allowed her to renew her RN license for another two years, we found out last week. Camesha Lynn Hart — a nurse of 22 years in Beaverton Oregon — found herself in an imbroglio of antisemitic proportions when she popped off a number of anti-Jew comments earlier this year in February and March 2025 on her Instagram page.

I usually kept my pregnancy whacked-out ness to myself, but I did, with the third, shake Mr. S awake out of a sound sleep one morning, sobbing hysterically because he had not mended the hole in the wall of the nursery and ordering him to fix it RIGHT NOW, b/c I could not live in this white trash house any more.
(Why was there a hole in the wall? The older two- five and three- had drilled a hole in the wallboard with a geometry compass and my pinking shears. Just because they wanted to see what was back there.) Posted by: sal at December 12, 2025 11:51 PM (f+FmA) 175
Where did the Mexicans enter this situation?
Posted by: JackStraw at December 12, 2025 11:45 PM (viF8m) The only supportive one was my husband, who feared my wrath as he got me this way. Our college friend we'd had to dinner (tacos) is half Navajo and half Mexican. So I am pretty sure he had something to do with the dream that night, as well as me declaring I could eat Mexican food every day. I am used to telling the men in my family what I think. We drove cross country to a new job in FL when the baby was 6wks old. Stopped on my farm in MS and my brother stuck his head in the car and asked, "Is this your milking stall?" I told him to shut up and get out of my way. And, yes, that baby had a growth spurt and ate a lot as we drove 8hrs/day for 3dys. The truckers probably liked me as we decided we could not stop every 1.5hrs and took our chances with him briefly out of his carseat. This was in a Sentra with the toddler in his carseat in the front passenger seat (no airbags during the Civil War times). He did get in hot water trying to mess with the gear shift going over the Rocky Mountains. It was a fun time. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at December 12, 2025 11:55 PM (WONhk) 176

One second I'm in a post apocalyptic hellscape trying to find a place to pee, the next I'm on a road trip with no clue where I'm going on a motorcycle I don't recognize, and the next I'm in a lumber mill, and then I'll finish off on an intergalactic cruise ship from the 5th element.

Posted by: sal at December 12, 2025 11:51 PM (f+FmA) Boys? Mine once melted a block of cheddar cheese on a lightbulb (their lamp) when I let them make a tent in their room on a rainy FL day. I smelled something burning and that's what I found with them quite pleased, as they were camping. The toddler youngest also gave the fish in their bathroom tank a fluoride treatment once. No one wondered why they died later. One side of the tank was smeared with toothpaste. I refer to this as the chimp era of life with boys. My husband traveled a lot and I nearly went insane at times, but managed to raise them to be responsible adults. I never was admitted to the psych unit. I did call my husband during the chickenpox quarantine to come home. The only time I did this. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at December 13, 2025 12:01 AM (WONhk) 181
A really weird dream I’ve had - and I found out other people have had this too, so it must mean something - is that I’m sitting at a table , and my teeth feel funny, so I reach up and take them all out of my mouth and lay them on the table in front of me. And then I try to put them back in so they fit right, but it’s hard and pretty frustrating.

Our house was over a century old and he had to get a window unit for our bedroom. The only time I was happy that summer was in a pool. It was hideous. My ancient car broke down one day that summer and I just left it in the street. Some men saw me leave it and pushed it out of the way. I didn't even care that I left it, but did thank them and called from somewhere to the man who supported me (I have blocked this part out). It was the old car he courted me in and proof I did not marry him for his money. His car was a stick shift and I did not learn how to drive it til we moved to FL. It always freaked me out, when he was teaching me in the mountains, to feel the car roll a tiny bit backwards as I shifted into first gear. So I learned in FL.

A federal appeals court on Friday afternoon temporarily halted Judge Boasberg’s contempt hearings in the Alien Enemies Act deportations case scheduled for next week. Earlier Friday, Judge James Boasberg made it clear that he was not backing off from his planned contempt hearings and threatened to pierce through attorney-client privilege in his order denying the government’s motion to reconsider. Later Friday, a three-judge panel on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily halted Boasberg’s contempt hearings. Judges Rao (Trump), Walker (Trump) granted an administrative stay pending further order of the court. --minimu Its about time Boasberg is removed from office. At the minimum, its time he was brought up on "conflict of interest" charges so that he can no longer sit on cases that involve the Trump Administration. Trump clearly lives inside Boasberg's head, and if Boasberg were *ethical* he would have already withdrawn from sitting on cases involving the current Administration.

I manage to see an ISS pass yesterday morning around here at 6:35AM. And there's another one, a little bit more south and not quite as high due around 5:45AM this morning. These are almost perfect, getting high overhead, taking a long arc from the SW to the NE. It was a cool thing to see, and I'm gonna catch the one this morning for sure. What surprised me was how far away I could see it. When it first popped up over the horizon this morning, the thing was just coming off Mexico into the Gulf a little north of the Yucatan. That seems a long way considering how low the ISS is, but the math works out. Maximum line of sight distance can be ~1400 miles for ISS orbital height.

Its about time Boasberg is removed from office. At the minimum, its time he was brought up on "conflict of interest" charges so that he can no longer sit on cases that involve the Trump Administration. Trump clearly lives inside Boasberg's head, and if Boasberg were *ethical* he would have already withdrawn from sitting on cases involving the current Administration.

I'm guessing you're probably considerably younger. Desperation to find a better job finally drove me to go to graduate school, and I was older than most of my colleagues. I will remove all mystery by pleading to having turned 70 in June of this year. Btw, I attended the American Graduate School of International Management, better known as Thunderbird, located in Glendale, AZ. It was a great school, and did, indeed, help me get out of the dreary profession of mid-level commercial banking. Sadly, Thunderbird ran into financial problems a decade or so after I graduated, and was ultimately take over by the ASU system. Posted by: Paco at December 13, 2025 12:49 AM (2L+MU) 222

Let's peel the onion on a topic.
We all know Ilhan Omar is an illegal alien. We all know that she has no business being in our country, much less a House rep. But why? WHO/WHAT was behind that stupid bint coming here? WHO/WHAT greased her way to political power? WHO/WHAT said "Hey, its no problem--we'll just have her marry her brother?" Is the Republican party just brain-dead?

Is the Republican party just brain-dead? Posted by: Crusader ============== I don't know which part of the onion this is, but I suspect the brusband was her/the family's own idea, just to get him out of the gay London scene and into college in America. In fact, all that happened before she got into politics. How/why that happened is a bit mysterious. I've seen quite a few Somali politicians on social media since this came out, all of them of course bitching about this racist hellhole and a promise to elevate Somali concerns above all others. I don't know how they all figured out that getting into office is the way to go in America, but it seems to me like they did. Ilhan did hold a lesser office before she made it into Congress. As for how (the method), there's evidence that she sent thugs around and threatened Somali householders to vote for her or get beaten up, robbed, whatever. to be continued...

Had a long phone call w/lil bro.. he's on the road, headed to Nebraska..
--------- Last memorable dream I had, was me pushing hubby in his wheelchair down a long slope. There were humps in the path (it was paved) and it was rather steep... Wheee! I controlled our speed, and we rode down the slope like it was a rollercoaster. We were laughing and having fun, and then suddenly saw the end of the slope-- needed to stop, so I dug-in my feet and sent us into a long, slow, circular slide! Round and round, stopping at the 'landing' which was a level area, on the way to this large old-fashioned building which was our destination. (We were always so goofy like that...) But there was some time left, so I asked hubby if he wanted to "do it again" down the bumpy slope? The look on his face, said yes-- but then he said "no, we better just go on to the appointment. A bus was coming through, so I moved us to the side-- and then the ground began crumbling from under us. I screamed for help as I held his wheelchair in one hand and grasped at the edge with the other, to keep us from falling. *****UGH!!!***** Posted by: JQ at December 13, 2025 01:55 AM (rdVOm) 238

So I don't know if this was some outside campaign of Dems who figured "Hey, let's get some Black Muslim actual African America-haters to run for office! All white liberals know that if you don't vote for them, you're racist!" I think somehow Somalis figured it out. As for Republicans being brain-dead, well, just look at the results. Who was eyeballing these enclaves as they were forming? Who was concerned about these low-achieving, poor, non-English-speaking refugees who weren't improving over time? Who was asking why a bunch of desert dwellers were showing up in Minnesota? Who was paying attention to their unvarying refrain of America-hatred, their blatant statements that they're more Somali than American, their preference for Sharia law if they could have it, the evidence of FGM going on in Somalia? Well, ordinary people were, but politicians? lolol Posted by: Blonde Morticia at December 13, 2025 02:01 AM (1N/bM) 241
More about Republicans being brain-dead, we all know of how AOC was recruited by the Justice Democrats. Now that is a smart organization that apparently went around quietly and ferreted out talkative, (wrongly) opinionated, charismatic people and used some expertise to get them into office. Changes are excellent that Justice Democrats got your tax dollars and mine to do their work while GOPers sat by calling for collegiality. It's astonishing how far the Dems can push this shyte before (minimal and late) opposition from Republican lawmakers and policy makers.

So funny. He pretends he's doing a business rescue show where he, someone who took a handful of business classes at a mediocre college and got Bs and C's, offers "business advice" to business owners, but it's always these ludicrous scams and legal loophole plays and sometimes just absurd stunts. Like in one he has an electronic store advertise a sale for 50 inch tvs for $20, but the fine print says you must be on line at a specific time, you must be wearing formal wear (tuxedos and gowns), and you can only reach the tvs by going through a hallway in which he has placed a real live alligator.

"Left-wing" billionaire Geetus L. Mazuma noted in his own biography that his animosity towards penguins was due to an encounter in his early teens with an overstimulated Sphenisciforme.
Penguin Facts will point out that what was considered "Left wing" in 1990 would be quite mainstream nowadays. Shifting attitudes about the vermin currently trying to claim the moniker that actually belongs to an extinct species of sea fowl have led to a greater awareness of the mephitic menace.

Before Bill Penzey had the stroke I used to order a lot of their spices. They had a good Chili powder & mix. Nice deep red color & Ancho flavah. Chili powder goes stale pretty fast unfortunately.

Pantone’s 2026 Color of the Year is Cloud Dancer aka White
Cloud Dancer also lands in a year when our built environment is drifting toward aesthetic sterilization, complete with more white and less friction. (The Development/Courtesy Pantone) But Cloud Dancer’s ascent doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It lands in a moment when America’s political architecture is staging its own whitening. From the East Wing teardown to a planned paint-over of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the federal palette has converged on one directive: Make America White Again. _https://www.archpaper.com /2025/12/ pantone-2026- color-of-the-year- cloud-dancer/ Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at December 12, 2025 08:32 PM (imZqa) 170

115 I never heard this -- cats get mad if you mess up the spot they just cleaned with their tongue?
--- Apparently they are not fond of "human stink." So they clean the spot all over again to remove your scent. Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel --------------- I don't think it's the smell, I think it is idea that we are "marking" them. Cats mark us as part of their territory or clan. If we then rub against them the feel dissed, thinking we are marking them. But I don't know, I don't have a cat sense of smell. Maybe they can tell but if that's the case, why would they want to live in our houses. Our whole world must smell worse than our fingers.

We would go to white castle and grab some burgers, then hit the McDonalds drive though next door for fries, a strawberry shake, and a few of those apple or cherry pies, and then feast on all of it in the parking lot.

Maryland Governor and Candidate for Democrat Nominee for President Wes Moore Has Long History of Lying About His War Record and Academic RecordThis is no disqualifier for a Democrat politician. Indeed, it's essentially a prerequisite. Moore has a long history of Biden-like and "Danang Dick" like embellishment of his academic record and war record. And of course he claims to be from the 'hood but he's really the son of a comfortable middle class family. If this Black Walter Mitty is a world-renowned expert on Islamic terrorism, why have no other terrorism experts ever heard of him?

Rather than whining about people like this right-wingers should just accept that Dims and their supporters are like this and lean into the situation. Be caustic when dealing with the moronic Dims you have to converse with. Make sure that you know what little shits they are and what they happily vote for.
And never, never bother debating with them. Dims are like Commies. They never 'lose' debates because they just reinvent terminology. Posted by: the lower depths at December 12, 2025 06:37 PM (UdiE9) 9

Just watched TJM's latest video. First, I'm really enjoying these videos. Like when I read his blog, I feel smarter afterwards. Also, that SUIT! But TJM needs a sign off. For example, Jerome Weiselberry waves and does a squeaky high pitched "bye!" At the end of her reviews. TJM needs something like that, but manlier.

![]() Joy Reid retweeted -- "amplified," as they say -- a race-grifter claiming "Jingle Bells" is, get this, racist. Remember, you are the ones engaging in "racial grievance" when you say you're sick to death of being endlessly scapegoated for black failure. A new report finds that injecting people with superphysiological levels of artificial hormones increases their all-cause mortality. Wow, I did not see that coming. I mean, yes I knew this would kill people, I just didn't think that anyone in "The Science (TM)" would dare to do any actual science about trans mutilations. Biology in Medicine The paper is here. Remember that alleged study that proves we need DEI? The one cited by Justice Ketangi D-EI when arguing for DEI forever? The study claimed that white doctors kill black babies. That turns out to be bunk -- fake science -- but what is even more interesting is that the same study found that the death rates of white babies increased when attended by black doctors. In other words, following the logic of the "study" -- we need black doctors for black patients, but also, white patients must also not have black doctors. White patients need white doctors. You might be thinking, Wow, I never heard anyone cite that part of the study. That's because the "scientists" who did this study omitted that part of their findings from their published paper, because they didn't want to "undermine" the "narrative" they were trying to establish. Hank Johnson, the forefather of the field of Buoyant Tectonic Plate Theory -- that Guam may "tip over" if too many people immigrate there --- declares that America is, just as radical Iranian hate-mullahs say, "the Great Satan."

Yes, it was stupid of Europeans to ever start the term "white".
When doing biometric enrollments in Afghanistan, the people there don't indicate ethnicity as "white" they use "wheat". And "white"/"wheat"/"snow"/whatever is stupid to characterize ethnicity anyway. Ethnos is the Greek term for nations. Nations traditionally has been the collection of a Family, as in the Table of Nations in the Scriptures post Babel. Babel was a separation of a whole unit of people into distinct families that acquired a new language and in the days of Peleg dispersed around the globe. With enough Somalian (or Appalachian) styled match-making and child bearing, Mendel's Genetics pretty much explains the so-called "racial characteristics" of these resulting nations/ethnicities. I hope this helps explain why I tire of this sophomoric nonsense of "races". Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure at December 12, 2025 05:45 PM (WCaCG) 44

The euphemism treadmill is something to see. "Retarded" came into use because the previous terms like "moron" an "imbecile" had become pejorative and not nice. So "retard" was the new nice word.

Just got an email from HOA that Google Fiber is coming soon. Anybody here have any experience with this?
Many years ago, Google Fiber was supposed to hit Austin and because the city is built upon limestone, buried cable was a No Go, so Google requested shared space on utility poles. The city agree, only if Google would provide free internet to ALL of the schools, government buildings, and the list kept expanding as different special interest groups got wind of the feeding frenzy and their lobbyists were dropping out of the ceiling with demands for free hook-ups and service. Google, after looking at the long and growing list of freeloaders dropped plans to do Fiber. Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure at December 12, 2025 06:01 PM (xE0sV) 121

It's got to be a gold mine, so how come the shysters - excuse me, lawyers - aren't swarming like sharks around a wounded swimmer?
I keep waiting. Posted by: Eeyore ======= Retired law academic but, A) most trial lawyers and judges are not well versed in statistics and juries are damn near innumerate even college educated folks. B) most law schools are of the left just like colleges and likewise their graduates have been indoctrinated to the key tenets of leftist religion. C) you have two types of trial lawyers--those that use threat of a trial to negotiate but almost always settle and then you have the ball busters ultra type A sorts. It takes the ball buster ultra type A sort to ignore political and community pressure in discovery motions for some really seamy relevations about the practice of medicine D) relative likelihood of payoff. Truck accidents involving cars are boring but trucking firms have better insurance than many individuals and juries like companies less than individuals. So steady sure payoff, low risk. Challenging troonism is akin to spitting in the eye of the elites and the uncertainty of payoff means high risk in investing scarce firm time.

2.) One horse open sleigh - it was a white tradition to replace all but the lead horse with barefoot black slaves for twelve days, so they'd get horse poop in their frostbite. 3.) Laughing all the way - the whites would laugh at the slaves and call them "poopfoot." 4.) Sleighing song tonight - originally "slaying song," this is a reference to the annual holiday rendition of "Dixie" whites would sing at their Christmas Eve Lynchings.

Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone ==== Politicians are opportunists as a class and by being the odd woman out after Jan 6 and a newcomer, it raised her relevance (and donations) ensuring her reelection in 2022. She latched back on to McCarthy's bandwagon to get more relevance but her outspoken defense there meant she took an L when Johnson was picked. Her actions during Johnson's speakership so far made her toxic to the GOP House leaders by trumpeting shit like Epstein at key voting times on bills like the shutdown, the BBB, etc. And she sided with Massie on issues like Iran, etc. plus her prior comments about Jews over the last several years have in fact painted a target on her back for being primaried. Atlanta has a very prominent old and Jewish business community and they were not amused by her antics and in turn that meant the state GOP was not amused.

I remember when gay marriage got shut down at the polls in California a decade or two ago. There was a lot of screeching about Evil White Religious Men yadda-yadda-yadda, until someone looked into the matter and figured out that the deciding difference was...black church groups.

Essentially Aetius451A,
She forgot loyalty as to who brung ya (constituents and Trump) to the dance and wanted to dance around the room with other partners like Massie, McCarthy, lefties. And her constituents/Trump/Johnson noticed that despite bringing her to the dance, she wanted to dance with the loonies. Now she is trying to get someone to take her home to Griftsville whether they be left, right, Islamic, or polka dot. If you notice, Mace never went after Trump directly nor did she piss off Johnson much. Boebert, having her scandal, has kept a lower profile and voted with her caucus.

In clown judge Bonerburger news, the DOJ has appealed his hearing on Monday demanding DOJ attorneys break attorney-client privilege.
Recall, Noam and other DOJ wagged their asses at him and dared him to proceed with contempt by saying "we followed advice of counsel" when he demanded they tell him why they didn't turn the planes around. What's amusing is, the language they've used is not at all deferential and barely conceals their contempt. Bonerburger and the radical left that's encouraging him are too dull to realize the DOJ wouldn't write that if they didn't already know they were going to win. He can't support a criminal contempt case on "followed advise of counsel." Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at December 12, 2025 06:19 PM (HXT0k) 209

One wonders if the congress critter will speak in such generic euphemistic terms if “frustrated” constituents start capping her or her colleagues.
Leftists apparently have this weird notion that it isn’t likely to have two-way shooting ranges. Maybe this is a faulty assumption. The manner in which they cavalierly dismiss atrocities perpetrated in the name of progressive nonsense over the last 50 years or so makes it inevitable things are going to get unspeakably bad.

I think I got all of my venting done below about Candyass Owens. But you never know. Something else might pop into my head. What an evil woman. I hope her babies are being raised somewhat normally, by a nanny or a dog. Maybe her husband is/was normal and lends a hand. I can only imagine the anger and bitterness seeping from Candace and spilling over to her babies. I read she popped out the last two quickly , but don't know and won't read about it. I do feel badly for Mrs. Kirk having to deal with this insanity after losing her husband so violently. One does not expect this from former "friends." One does not expect this from a "conservative," or if she claims to be Christian, our Candace. No clue. I am calling it here: she is evil and starting tonight I will pray against her and her ragged band of followers. Miserable wretch who was tossed aside by her own "true love," is how I see her.

My point being we 'one of the few good ones.' I am not sure there are any, just those who are more open about their antagonism or better at hiding it. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, whoever just sat on their hands.
Posted by: Aetius451AD === And now you have mastered politics of DC. The primary motivation (and this has been empirically tested btw) is to run and win reelection. A guy named Anthony Downs came up with the essential guide to two party systems. Activists are on the left or right of a bimodal distribution of voters. Activists pull candidates to the right (GOP-donors to the left now) or left (Dem donors+activists) in primaries and then candidates race toward the district, state, or even country's median voter in the general. They view elections pragmatically as to what guarantees your reelection. What you might want to know about MTG's district is that is has a lot of old Larry McDonald's, Newt Gingriches, etc. voters and they dislike Washington as it runs with a passion. So supporting the Jan 6 played well with voters in her district, played well with Trump, and given her very junior status, helped her win a primary for reelection in 2022 after redistricting.

25-year-old Kamalpreet Singh killed a 29-year-old man on the morning of December 11 after he crushed the victim’s vehicle between two trucks while driving northbound on SR 167.

Whig, you are avoiding the question after I conceded your point: why didnt anyone besides the grifter speak up for the J6 guys?
Posted by: Aetius451AD ====== Long and the short of it. It played well in her district when she was primaried in 2022 by a GA GOPe type. And if you see above, not avoiding but simply cannot type that fast. New representatives are the most like a weathervane and unpredictable. See George Santos (predictable on Cong voting but not on scandal), Lauren Boebert (a bit of scandal), Mace (toxic past relationship and past sex abuse issues), etc. Some, like the squad, were birds of a feather using their new shiny donor network (smurfed ActBlue very possible here from foreign sources), some plan to run for higher office from teh beginning, and some plan to advance in the House leadership (Stefanik for example until the gov. opportunity popped up along with a UN nomination to raise her status). Those that take sudden u turns often have the people around them (staff etc. change) and family can also affect issues (reportedly in MTG's case but dunno if accurate). Some, like Justin Amash, have business interest that Orangeman bad threatened (tool import biz). Posted by: whig at December 12, 2025 06:33 PM (WDjG6) 278

ne of oldest family traditions is on Christmas Day going to Grandmother's house. When we got there we would announce our arrival by belting out "Jingle Bells" while still in the front yard, gathered around her lawn jockey, and lashing it with leather straps.
Then we'd go downtown and sing "Joy to the World" while beating hobos.... ... what goes on in some peoples heads....

They don't realize that when you steal money and blow it on a good time, the money doesn't keep coming. But it's going to cost a lot of time and money to fix what they damaged. The stupid bastards.

Google fiber? Story time. Back when I was in college, lo these *mumble* years ago, our city actually built out it's own fiber network to everywhere. It was pricey, but you could sign up for it.
Fast forward lots of years, and Google decides to start with Google Fiber. Problem is, they don't know yet how to run a company, nor do they have the equipment. So they went looking for help. My city said, "we've got a fiber network you can buy and run! We'll charge you a dollar to buy it! Only 1 teeny, tiny problem: we lost track of where all the fiber actually is, so we have no idea where the actual lines are!" Google took it, and thus my old college town was one of the very first Google fiber cities. Took everyone by surprise, because Provo, Utah does not sound like a place Google would be "first" Posted by: SimoHayha at December 12, 2025 06:56 PM (0Aoc4) 292

Statistically speaking, you never want a black doctor when a white doctor is available, unless you have certifiable quality data showing you the black doctor is actually good. It is the unfortunate reality of medical schools for having enrolled many black students who had no business getting in ahead of more qualified non-black applicants. The more appalling thing to think about is that this robbed from legitimately qualified black medical students the trust of the population at large in their capabilities as a physician. DEI does mean DIE.
Posted by: Black JEM at December 13, 2025 12:26 AM (UVyKP) Four Years Too Late, The New York Times Admits That Biden Pursued a Reckless Policy of Unlimited Illegal Immigration -- But Only In Service of New Narrative That Only Biden Favored Open Borders While the Rest of the Democrat Party Opposed ItBig Brother is rewriting history and deleting old files and airbrushing old photos as we watch them do it. Kind of a pattern with the propaganda media, isn't it? Admitting the Democrats were wrong -- lied, actually -- about covid and Biden's cognitive fitness and now open borders. And then creating a new narrative absolving all Democrats of those lies going forward.See, his "top advisors" -- who can be taken to represent the real Democrat Party -- warned him not to throw open the borders and plunge the country into "chaos," but Biden -- and only Biden -- was determined to impose an open borders policy on the Democrats who heroically resisted this folly. In the weeks after Joseph R. Biden Jr. was elected president, advisers delivered a warning: His approach to immigration could prove disastrous. Mr. Biden had pledged to treat unauthorized immigrants more humanely than President Donald J. Trump, who generated widespread backlash by separating migrant children from their parents. But Mr. Biden was now president-elect, and his positions threatened to drastically increase border crossings, experts advising his transition team warned in a Zoom briefing in the final weeks of 2020, according to people with direct knowledge of that briefing. That jump, they said, could provoke a political crisis. "Chaos" was the word the advisers had used in a memo during the campaign. They offered a range of options to avert that crisis, by better deterring migrants. Mr. Biden seemed to grasp the risk. But he and his top aides failed to act on those recommendations. The warnings came true, and then some. After Mr. Biden became president, migrant encounters at the southern border quickly doubled, then kept rising. New arrivals overwhelmed border stations, then border towns, and eventually major cities like New York and Denver. Anger over illegal migration helped return Mr. Trump to the presidency, and he has enacted even more aggressive policies than those Mr. Biden first campaigned against. Mr. Trump has drawn outrage from Democrats by sending masked agents to target immigrants, often aided by National Guard soldiers. Biden did All the Bad Things, you guys, single-handedly. Biden was the only thing wrong with the Democrat Party. Now that he's out, the Democrat Party is Perfect Again (TM). Walter Kirn summed this effort up as the Democrats "trying to establish a new encyclopedia entry" on this chapter of political history so that future voters will only be able to read this version of events. ... But a New York Times examination of Mr. Biden's record found that he and his closest advisers repeatedly rebuffed recommendations that could have addressed the border crisis faster, and eased what became a potent issue for Mr. Trump as he sought to return to the White House and justify the aggressive tactics roiling American cities today. Former Biden administration officials told The Times that Mr. Biden and his circle of close confidants -- including Ron Klain, who was chief of staff during the president's first two years, Mike Donilon, Jennifer O'Malley Dillon and Anita Dunn -- made two crucial errors. First, they underestimated the scale of migration that was coming. Second, they failed to appreciate the political reaction to that migration -- believing that stronger enforcement would alienate Latino and progressive voters, and also that a border surge would not be an important issue to most voters. Those calculations would later prove to be mistaken, with many voters, including Latinos, citing immigration as a reason for supporting Mr. Trump in 2024. "Everybody was reacting to the excesses of the Trump administration," said Cecilia Muñoz, who helped shape immigration policy in the Obama administration and oversaw domestic and economic policy for the Biden transition team.Of course -- it wasn't the Democrats' fault, it was Trump's. Biden only embraced open borders Because Trump. This wasn't the Democrat Party position or anything. Except... that in the Democrat primary presidential debate of 2016, scheduled by Hillary Clinton for Christmas Eve so that no one could see it, both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders (formerly in favor of border control) vowed that no illegal aliens -- not one -- would be deported under their would-be presidencies.

Think about this:
The leftists in all of the western countries have been doing two interrelated things for several years, if not decades. 1. Trying their hardest to emasculate men, decrying toxic masculinity, deriding those who want to serve their country (unless they are a cross dresser), insisting that women are girl bosses and that men are irrelevant, and doping boys to prevent them from behaving like boys. 2. Importing as fast as they are able a large population of military age men from countries where women are seen as property and free for the taking, and using police powers to ensure that these men are not punished for whatever they do. I think it is pretty obvious what their plan is. Posted by: Thomas Paine at December 12, 2025 04:45 PM (0U5gm) 58

Meanwhile Trump has fairly quietly militarized much of the southern border. Militarized is the FNM term, but the Dept of interior has turned over control of much of the land at the border to various military branches.
I don't know if this means the Navy, AF, et al are going to have bomber and A-10 practice areas on the border, but it would be fun. Throw up some muliti lingual signs "danger, bombing and strafing practice area" and have at it. Posted by: PaleRider at December 12, 2025 04:49 PM (hhkIi) 65

It's at least plausible that Democrats believed throwing open the gates the third world would lock in the hispanic vote. As Universalists, it would never occur to them to go out and discuss the question with actual hispanics. As an aside, that rationale shows how transactional the Dems view their relationship with blacks - if hispanics outnumber blacks, the Dems will not hesitate to adopt policies favoring the former at the expense of the latter.

What do you think about this idea I've been mulling over: The "Positivist fallacy".

Otherwise, we must only restrict ourselves to the objective traits of objective entities, which leaves Science little to offer as well. Posted by: Axeman at December 12, 2025 04:54 PM (krQz2) 83

Otherwise, we must only restrict ourselves to the objective traits of objective entities, which leaves Science little to offer as well. Posted by: Axeman ===== Eh, I am frankly rusty on epistemology as I haven't taught methods course in a long while. But positivism is closely aligned with the age of Reason and materialism and subject to the same limits. Our reasoning ability is always less than perfect because we are meat puppets and we will never have omniscience. That goes for AI as it is a human tool, not sentient so far, and thus subject to the limits of its makers in reasoning and knowledge. That being said, I was always a pragmatist and probabilistic type of empiricist. Same as the old paradox of Q: Who shaved the Spanish Barber--A: follow him around and find out. There are always propositions not amenable to empirical analysis (and thus positivist tests) due to bad data, impossible to prove or disprove, etc. But some are to a degree.

Dems shoot themselves in the foot way too often. Why do democrats continue to think that soft on immigration approach is necessary to keep Latino support? It was literally trump and Republicans who stopped a border security bill. Democrats want to fix immigration. Punishing employers of undocumented immigrants (while granting the right amount of temporary visas) would be the best route.

Posted by: whig at December 12, 2025 05:03 PM (WDjG6) --- Well, it's taken as typical that Karl Popper, the synthesizer of the falsification demarcation of Science fell out of favor with and eventually debunked Carnap-ian positivism. (As Rudolph Carnap fathered the Vienna School). After all, "Turing Machines" can never be instantiated if, by definition they have "unlimited tape". (Or no defined upper-bound, as I prefer). So, how can Turing talk about machines that can't exist, right? Posted by: Axeman at December 12, 2025 05:09 PM (krQz2) 141

I think Positivism, both of Comte and Vienna School, has met enough dead-ends--and really formalistic self-reference problems--that it should be able to be dispensed with unless the writer can produce a new wrinkle.
Otherwise, we must only restrict ourselves to the objective traits of objective entities, which leaves Science little to offer as well.

Posted by: Axeman ===== At some point, as an empiricist, you have to turn away from edge cases. Interesting from a philosophical viewpoint like whether we are in a simulated universe or inside a black hole but I have enough to chew on day to day without worrying about the infinite. Popper was an interesting case as he was a bridge from the older Age of Reason cult to the newer problems that came from areas of study that rely upon really bad data--sociology, history, political science, and even economics. Never was particularly relevant in theology, cosmology, or other fields, perhaps even quantum mechanics, where we simply cannot positively prove or disprove our theories. The observational equivalence problem also appears as you would find in studies of relativity. Simply put, our frame of reference determines our reality.

Posted by: The Lower Depths at December 12, 2025 05:15 PM (UdiE9) --- I actually found out, via a scholar on Popper, that Popper himself cannot be totally blamed for this. "Popper's" writing on intolerant tolerance apparently consists of TWO footnotes in his writing. Thus it is mainly people taking crude notions of Popper and running with it. Definitely either Popper did not foresee (or he simply can be ignored) people moving the "intolerance" goalposts to being increasingly intolerant of viewpoints on the basis of arguing that some other viewpoint is "intolerant". Thus bootstrapping the intolerance of actually more tolerant viewpoints. Posted by: Axeman at December 12, 2025 05:19 PM (krQz2) 191

Posted by: Biff Pocoroba at December 12, 2025 05:10 PM (XvL8K) You can argue that morality is the formal setting out of tactics within a society that improve the possibility of success and continuation of the society, and the success of the individual within the society; though none of the moral precepts can be generated through logic, analysis of them can provide the basis of ethics, which can help leverage morality to provide greater success - hopefully providing enough understanding of the situation to determine if it is a good idea to change anything.

Even if 'boomers' skew towards Ds and genX skews MAGA (and I dont know that this is so) boomers here at the HQ like BenHad, Eremero, Mike Hammer, etc etc etc are really great people so stop bashing based on date of birth, its incredibly stupid.

It means the NEED for a Leader to follow is a weakness to overcome. There is only on thing that shapes history just as it shapes the course of each Individual's lives -- the power of IDEAS. That good ones replace the bad ones, and those at the root of it be held to pay the ultimate prices. That any compromise between food and poison can result in nought but death. That the only thing necessary for Evil to prosper is for good men to do absolutely nothing. Why? Because the truely evil are abetted by the Venal and the WEAK. period. LIBS believe they can fake History and Reality just as they would fake reality (and factually did) of IceKingJOE. Remember who did this: "to leave now we would send a message to terrorists ...." -- Bill Clinton '93 just before he pulled out of Somalia.

I think the cut off age for boomers needs to be lowered. If you know any late boomers they are usually nothing like the early ones. While I'm thinking about it, any polices, laws, and general fuckups that helped screw this country were put in place by the the silent generation and the so called greatest generation. Boomers were too young to hold office when that shit was brewing. Well, not unless a 15 year old was able to vote to get us into vietnam. Biden, pelosi, the turtle, and all before them were not boomers.

Primary them all. They fiddle as Rome burns and call themselves just for doing so.Republicans have a majority in the state senate, but only a minority of them voted in favor of the map. They weren't betrayed by a few rogue members -- the majority of them joined the Democrats to get Trump impeached in January 2026. The Democrats are not hiding their plans. The House voted on Thursday to table a motion to impeach President Donald Trump. The so-called privileged motion to force the House to act was introduced by Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green, according to The Hill. A Republican motion to table the resolution passed by a vote of 237-140, with 47 Democrats voting present and 23 voting with the Republicans to table it. Tabling means to set it aside indefinitely without further debate. Green has repeatedly introduced resolutions to impeach President Trump, both during his first term in office and now three times this year, since Trump's return to office. His latest resolution has two impeachment articles. The first article is for "Abuse of Presidential Power by Calling for the Execution of Members of Congress." That was in reference to Trump's response last month to the video made by six Democrats telling members of the military that they don't have to follow unlawful orders.Many Democrats voted for the impeachment. Some voted present and some voted to table it. But the latter Democrats only ducked the impeachment vote because they don't want the public thinking they are revenge-minded crazies before they're in a position to actually achieve their revenge-crazy impeachment. See, they are doing what they do every two or four years, tamping down on their more extreme elements to make themselves look good for a critical election. They want to win. We don't. Our own "representatives" are scheming with the Democrats to bring Trump down. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I think Trump is doing a great job, and the country is clearly improving across the board. But I'm worried that we just don't want this badly enough. We just don't.

I’m taking a moment to just bask in the system working as it should. The fact that our voices made a difference. "The system working as it should" would have never comsidered such a measure. And, as always, Fuck Trump. This isn't a principled stand. It's just self interested opportunism. They're worried about accidentally gerrymandering themselves out of a job in the event of blue wave. I deliberately didn’t follow this today because I feared/assumed the worst. Boy, was I wrong, and am I happy about that!!! Lmaooooo get fucked Donald. Props to all the senate republicans that stood up to the pressure campaign. We may not always see eye to eye on the issues but I salute your courage on this. they only did this because they're afraid of getting screwed if diluted districts trend to the left next year, which is absolutely going to happen. I wouldn't be surprised if the No votes were in those more purple proposed districts. And absolutely fuck Donald.

Couple of things: Trump, as ever, has been really bad on messaging since his election. Doesn't like something? He calls it a hoax. Epstein..."Nevermind." He's not helping himself.
Second... Trump voters suck. They really do. If he's not on the ballot they stay home. So they can all suck their thumbs when he's impeached for the 3rd, 4th, 5th time. They're the reason we had no red wave in 2022. They're the reason the Dems are sweeping the off-year elections. Posted by: SMFH at December 12, 2025 03:32 PM (112XX) 26

Remember about 50% of Republicans are only Republicans because they were too spineless to try to win as Democrats. Start there. Another 40% are too conniving to do said same. That leaves the 10% that are merely in it for themselves, and like two people who actually agree with us.

My point in #18 is that I think many R politicians understand that we are losing our civilization, but they figure there is nothing they can do alone, so best to make that "generational wealth" to protect their family.
Our failures are self-reinforcing. Trump's winning is the counter to that. He has restored some vitality to the country but still many do not see our civilization as the winning team. Over at Insty there is a post about a Chinese Spy/Professor who felt he would "always return to China" after spending life working/spying in USA. Many Chinese immigrants in West see us as a losing civilization. They will never assimilate because, why switch to losing side? Same with muzzies. Same with Somalians. Same with Mexicans. You see the problem? I am saying that even Americans often see our side as ultimate losers. We have to fix that. Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at December 12, 2025 03:35 PM (uxVjF) 45
They're the reason the Dems are sweeping the off-year elections.
They haven't quite swept them but there is an obvious pattern. In areas with poor voter security the Dems are getting normal offyear election numbers and the Rs are getting a fraction of that. In areas with stronger vote security both sides are getting a fraction of their off year results. So there problem is two fold: Conservative voters are not showing up Leftists are printing ballots with impunity Posted by: 18-1 at December 12, 2025 03:35 PM (sKqQm) Posted by: Minuteman at December 12, 2025 03:35 PM (1SDXk) 47

I live in Indiana. You can trash the senators that voted this down, but the bottom line is, Indiana is impossible to gerrymander 9-0 in an off year election. It might look possible on paper, but the reality is, the results could be much worse next year with new lines drawn and you could easily have ended up with 6-3 or even 5-4 instead of the current 7-2.

Actually worse because we know the Demonic Party is Hell bent on destroying Western Civilization while plundering the treasury the whole way and we can vote against them. When the feckless GOP politician proves to be a Demonic Party member dressed as GOP we don't have a choice.

63 I live in Indiana. You can trash the senators that voted this down, but the bottom line is, Indiana is impossible to gerrymander 9-0 in an off year election. It might look possible on paper, but the reality is, the results could be much worse next year with new lines drawn and you could easily have ended up with 6-3 or even 5-4 instead of the current 7-2.
Posted by: ckmeat ======== Some of those guys are going to lose their primaries soon. And y'all need to dump the Pence family as cucks and traitors plus scamsters (go back to the family oil business collapse for a look). Indiana Senate could have always done an 8-1 map in response as the Northwest district is only D+1 anyway and surrounded by R double digit districts. They could have gotten rid of that one and left Carson alone in Indianapolis. Posted by: whig at December 12, 2025 03:47 PM (WDjG6) 101

FWIW, it took Republicans about 8 years when the Whig party died. From 1852 to 1860 to win the presidency and Congress. Took even longer after the Federalist party died in 1808 effectively until 1840 with William Henry Harrison beating Martin Van Buren.

I doubt we can win in the long run. I am increasingly convinced that the dominant group on the American Right - Lockean Classical Liberals - is committed to never ever understanding those who disagree. I have seen too many attacks on us trads without a single case of really engaging. Which would be OK if the attitude were "we'll agree to disagree", but it's not. It's "You're really a totalitarian! And Un-American."

>>People are letting special elections (which are not predictive) drive them to fear.
The TN special election was interesting. The narrative for weeks was midwest AOC was going to rock TN and flip a red seat. She lost by 9 in a R+10 district. In other words, she performed to the expected loss. Special election have never been an indicator of anything other than a snapshot in time. Democrats are a little more motivated because they are angry and watching their power and world slip away thanks to Orange Satan. What matters is the environment next November. If the economy starts roaring as is predicted it will be a completely different ballgame. Posted by: JackStraw at December 12, 2025 03:59 PM (viF8m) 161

You have to have a network to network. Some middle class kid fresh out of school isn't gonna have much of a network to tap into unless he can lean on connections of parents or family friends.
Posted by: bear - 1000% Other than one exception every job I’ve had, be it full time or consulting, has been through a connection. This includes my very first part time job in HS which I got because my neighbor knew the manager of the store where I worked. First summer internship in college was at a friend’s dad’s company. Then once my career was established it was former co-workers, former managers or former clients that hooked me up. And I did as well. It’s a 2 way street.

I dunno. How many special elections do you write off before you take it seriously? TN should have been a way bigger margin, and Miami was a disaster. You can perhaps say that people don’t get out to vote or in Miami the number of people voting was very small. But at what point do you realize turnout is a problem, tell the RNC to get off ther asses and stop relying on only Pressler as ther entire GOTV strategy. Fail.

The best way to get a job is to be employed. Get something, anything. Go to temp agencies and see what they have. Not your ideal job? Got it. Keep doing it until ideal happens. Also:
1. Get your resume done professionally 2. Get connected with a recruiter and make them love you. They are the ones with connections until you make your own. 3. Look into rolls that sort of fit. 4. You should have a pretty solid understanding of what you will be asked in an interview- write your answers down and practice them. Have a situation, a response and the outcome ready. 5. Don’t say your weakness is being too kind/ smart/ hard working. Be genuine and say how you plan to counter it. Give real examples. 6. Never, ever, ever bash your old job, employer, or give any indication you may be a high touch employee. 7. Apply for everything. Not one job at a time . Work with your recruiter here.

Special election have never been an indicator of anything other than a snapshot in time. Democrats are a little more motivated because they are angry and watching their power and world slip away thanks to Orange Satan.
What matters is the environment next November. If the economy starts roaring as is predicted it will be a completely different ballgame. Posted by: JackStraw Watch for GOP House retirements (they are always higher than Dems because of cmte chair term limits) and in swing Senate states, haven't bothered to look at 2026 map. Figure in new district effects. Then you apply the macro economics and it will be tricky to use pres approval for analysis as Trump polls bad like Clinton did but that is as much personal approval instead of political.

Our own "representatives" are scheming with the Democrats to bring Trump down.
They & theirs build wealth, contacts, practical governmental knowledge, and so on. They're not going to provide a "living wage," all forms of insurance from birth- to-death, worthless (keep busy) education and so on to the masses. We are. (They and theirs will stand to the side out of the fray, like ghosts, or mouth off inexplicably like MTG.) They all want Trump to repair some of the visible Biden damage. That's all, no deeper. And then the giveaways begin again. BTW, my local county: (Write what you know) "According to the Court Financial Services department, the total amount of unpaid criminal fines in Delaware County from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2024 was $20,598,484.36." --- Delco residents prepare for a 19% property tax hike - the second double-digit increase they face in two years. (The 2025 Budget increased taxes by 23%.) We have 50501 rallies; a potential for an HRC Ordinance that allows a panel to decide fines, punishment; a prison crisis (now operated by the county vs GEO); outrageous county legal expenses; a huge, unneeded Health Department, The Family Village, etc. Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at December 12, 2025 04:19 PM (NFX2v) 257

--- Remember: Almost no elected Republicans or their staff read or watch news outside the mainstream. It's not just that they refuse to believe, they trust the media more than they trust their voters. So even if you showed them the truth, they'd still dismiss it.

For a new college grad, it's WAY easier to get a job if you have a job (I mean, my kid needed 4 professional references for her FT job (and they all got contacted)- where would she have gotten them without her PT job, b/c she only had 2 jobs in college b/c they were multi-year, so only 2 there)...

Seat-fillers. Posted by: Axeman Modern GOP, like Tories, is simply not a governing party. They are basically when in power, negotiators with the Dems for a scrap of pizza crust. Trump bewildered them in his first term because he actually meant to govern and govern well. GOP toads like McConnell, Ryan, and McCain were confused as they assumed the role of the GOP was to be a doormat to the Democrats but collect some swell grifting in consequence. In his second term, they are grimly trying to wait him out. Same thing going on with the Eurotrash, the supposedly conservative parties are trying to wait out the popular parties and back stab them on a regular basis for muh EU, muh WEF, and muh Ukraine. Vile and evil in general (lawful evil) but cowards. Leftists are batshit crazy evil (chaotic evil).

I accepted the role of paranormal guide for multiple reasons. As a Mechanical Engineer, I found I was able to use my skillset in tactical as well as creative ways. I was able to design, build and test new equipment for reaching the great beyond, as well as repair and understand current technology with an eye toward improvements. I was also able to work on listening comprehension as Ghosts may communicate quietly or using non traditional methods. I challenged myself to be open to new ideas, and not discount even improbable possibilities.

Delco residents prepare for a 19% property tax hike - the second double-digit increase they face in two years. (The 2025 Budget increased taxes by 23%.) We have 50501 rallies; a potential for an HRC Ordinance that allows a panel to decide fines, punishment; a prison crisis (now operated by the county vs GEO); outrageous county legal expenses; a huge, unneeded Health Department, The Family Village, etc. Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at December 12, 2025 04:19 PM (NFX2v) Bulgaria's government is collapsing over riots about lower taxes than that.

A Foreign Islamic Government Just Opened an Investment Command Center in Miami – And No One Asked the People of Florida In February, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez proudly announced something no one in Florida voted for: “The Saudi Investment Promotion Authority is opening its first-ever Invest Saudi office right here in Miami.” He said this on stage at the FII Priority Summit — the Saudi state-backed investment conference often called “Davos in the Desert.” This year, it was held on American soil - in Miami - with Donald Trump and major global power brokers applauding. And in the middle of the ceremony, something unprecedented happened: Saudi Arabia officially planted its first sovereign investment office in Florida – and only its second in the United States.

Posted by: Augusto Perez at December 12, 2025 08:20 PM (a5gr2) BLM Grifter Indicted for, Get This, BLM Grifting![]() Criminals gonna crime. A federal grand jury in Oklahoma City has delivered sweeping charges against a longtime Black Lives Matter figure, accusing her of siphoning donor money into a personal slush fund that allegedly financed Caribbean vacations, luxury shopping, and a string of real-estate purchases. According to reporting from Breitbart News, prosecutors say the case exposes how parts of the BLM movement operated far from the charitable mission donors were led to believe they were supporting. Federal prosecutors announced Thursday that 52-year-old Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson -- the executive director of Black Lives Matter Oklahoma City since 2016 -- now faces 25 felony counts, including twenty charges of wire fraud and five more of money laundering. U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester confirmed the indictment, which carries maximum penalties adding up to 450 years in prison and millions in fines. Senior Justice Department officials, speaking exclusively to Breitbart, framed the case as a test of their commitment to rooting out corruption inside organizations that have raised enormous sums under the banner of racial justice. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the prosecution shows "how some in the group's leadership allegedly used donor money to bankroll their own lifestyles," adding that the department has "zero tolerance for any kind of fraud perpetrated against the American people." FBI Director Kash Patel echoed that message, telling Breitbart his agents are "following the money" wherever it leads.In totally, completely, 100% unrelated news: "Tax the Rich" Socialist Socialite Alexandria Donkey-Chompers dropped $50,000 of donor money on luxury hotels and restaurants during her "vacations" from her "job." All over a three month period! Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) dropped almost $50,000 on hotels and meals in Puerto Rico in the third quarter of this year -- as well as renting a San Juan venue where she was caught on tape grooving at an August Bad Bunny concert. AOC's principal campaign committee shelled out $680.52 on July 28 to stay at the lavish Hotel Palacio Provincial, along with another $1,507.26 on Aug. 29 and a whopping $9,440,79 on Sept. 29, according to third quarter federal campaign finance filings -- even as the "Squad" rep on her social media accounts denounced gentrification that was taking place on the island. The "first-class," "adults only" Palacio Provincial boasts of being "situated within an historic early 19th century building" with "transcendent hints of the structure's grand colonial past." On Aug. 25, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress also paid $3,861.20 to Hotel El Convento, another 19th century property touting its "old world charm and elegance," the Federal Election Commission filings show.

Sean explains, ". . . he had questioned how Crenshaw was able to throw an "extremely expensive party" and asked how someone "making $174,000 a year can afford that kind of a lifestyle."

Actually BUDS doesn't include any media training. And loud/high-profile remains a recent downgrade from tradition and history of the opposite. Quiet professionals was a term that was based on something.
Can't seem to find it, but after the "guy who shot Bin Laden" disgraced himself with his tawdry publicity efforts, the commander and command master chief of Nav Special Warfare released an open letter to the force. It was a very well crafted 10-megaton smackdown on how publicity was the opposite of wise practices and tradition. Good friend from jr. high days did 25+ years in the teams, talk with him all the time, you'll never know his background unless you ask or someone tells you. He still hasn't shared almost anything specific about what he did. Young current SEALs at the range always have to be asked if they're on the teams, in my experience, and they're sheepish when answering - but there are clues and I've always been right when I asked.

When you're driving westbound on I 40 the OKC limits start about 35 miles from the end. Perpetual construction, crazy traffic especially around the Tinker AFB exits. I always try to travel through there on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

While that may be true, strangely enough the earthquakes in Oklahoma stopped shortly after cracking down on certain fracking practices. The quakes were a thing...and then one day they weren't, just like an on and off switch.
Posted by: Crusader at December 12, 2025 03:11 PM (TN0g+) I don't think those quakes were caused by fracking. More likely deep-well injection of wastewater at very high pressure, which may have lubricated stuck faults and allowed them to move. Actual fracking is done usually at lesser depths (depends upon depth of the target formation, of course), and it deliberately causes thousands of tiny "earthquakes" that can only be detected by sensitive seismometers, which can be used to track the progress of the frac job. Once the frac job is complete, there should be no further "quakes". Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at December 12, 2025 03:19 PM (npFr7) 267

Posted by: Prickly Pete Salmonella at December 12, 2025 04:35 PM (dFG8E) Tyler Robinson Smirks and Swaggers in Court, Showing No Remorse for Murdering Charlie KirkIt's almost as if he likes his chances at trial. Tyler Robinson, accused in Charlie Kirk killing, smirks and chuckles during first in-person court appearance, with family in tow ... Thursday's hearing was the first time Robinson was physically present and seen in court. Prior hearings were virtual. Robinson looked unfazed by the grim charges he faces -- which accused him of brutally shooting the 31-year-old Kirk on Sept. 10 during a Turning Point USA talk at Utah Valley University in front of a crowd of thousands.Why is this man smiling? Because he knows he won't be convicted. He has leftist supporters who want to reward him for murdering Charlie Kirk, and he has members of the pseudoright -- Candace Owens acolytes -- who think he was framed by the Deep State to cover up Erika Kirk's murder of her husband. So get ready for the acquittal. It's coming, and Tyler Robinson knows it. And don't think "At least the acquittal will finally convince Candace Owens to stop with her insane grifting practices." No, it won't. She's smile, she'll laugh, and she'll say, "You see, I was right! The acquittal proves it was Israel and Egyptian Planes who killed Charlie Kirk!"
The cruelty that has been heaped on Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika, since his assassination three months ago has been unrelenting. First it was leftist ghouls cheering on his cold-blooded murder, in front of a crowd of 3,000 people at the first stop of his Turning Point USA "American Comeback Tour" outdoors on the campus of Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. The ghouls gloried in the death of the young father of two, mimicked the instant the bullet hit his throat, created T-shirts with his image and gushes of blood to celebrate the moment his voice was silenced. ... But what has been far worse than the leftist haters are right-wing-adjacent grifters and nuts pushing wicked conspiracy theories about Charlie's murder, pointing the finger at his colleagues, friends and even Erika herself. These fantasies have been peddled primarily by former prominent TPUSA luminary Candace Owens on her hit podcast, which gets more than 40 million views for her wildest rants. She has claimed Israeli Mossad agents, men in maroon shirts, the US military, Egyptian planes, Jewish donors and the French government are somehow complicit.She also claimed some kind of Mormon cult centered around... bee worship might have had a hand in it. See, if there's no exit wound, that means that one of Charlie Kirk's own staffers must have shot him from the stage using a lower-powered pistol bullet. Just asking questions? Worst of all, she torments Charlie's widow by suggesting in a disingenuous "just asking questions" way that Charlie was "betrayed" by the people who loved him most.Do you know this next part? Her "proof" that Charlie Kirk was "betrayed" by those closest to him is... a dream. She claims that Charlie Kirk cane to her in a dream and told her to smear her friends and wife as conspiracists in his murder. Her proof? A dream. "I had a very vivid dream whereupon Charlie told me that he had been betrayed." She has thrown suspicion on Charlie's pastor, his chief of staff, his chief operating officer, his spokesman, the camera guy, you name it.Finally, Erika Kirk broke her self-imposed silence -- trying to let Candace Owens' hatred, jealousy, and narcissism just burn itself out naturally, only to realize it would never burn out because the money is too good -- to tell Owens to stop. She didn't name Owens, but it's clear who she's talking about. (Owens herself says it's clear that Erika is calling Owens out.) Remember, she patiently allowed Candace Owens to defame her for months to let her burn it out of her, and now that silence is taken as an admission she was in on it. At one point, Erika turned to the camera and pointedly addressed the conspiracy theorists: "Just know that your words are very powerful, and we are human. My team are not machines, and they're not robots. We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen ... What are we supposed to do? Relive that trauma all over again?" The best part was that Erika never mentioned the name of the woman who TPUSA insiders say is afflicted by "first wife" syndrome. They say Owens is consumed by jealousy that Erika has been appointed CEO of TPUSA, following Charlie's express wishes to the board and colleagues and captured on video. "She is a woman scorned," one TPUSA insider said of Owens. "She was iced out of TPUSA ... She was not close to Charlie -- he kept her at arm's length. He knew the best tack on her was to keep her on ice ... She was not invited to Charlie's wedding." Owens has repeatedly claimed she wants to meet with TPUSA staffers to get to the "truth" and claimed she would go anywhere and debate anyone to prove her dream of Charlie Kirk is accurate. TPUSA agreed to a public debate -- and then Owens made excuses and said that date wouldn't work for her. And nor would any other date. You might think that Erika Kirk telling her to stop might make her stop. Why would you think that? Well, because Candace Owens said she would stop if and when Erika Kirk told her to stop. You see, for months, when people told Candace Owens that it was rotten to smear a widow as culpable in her husband's murder, she claimed that only two people could make her stop spinning her conspiracy theories about Erika Kirk -- her husband (or "husband," as other conspiracy theories posit), or Erika Kirk herself. So... because Candace Owens is truthful and honorable and not motivated by insane levels of narcissism, entitlement, and belief that Erika Kirk should have put Candace Owens in charge of Charlie Kirk's organization, she immediately honored her promise and agreed to no longer spread conspiracy theories about Erika Kirk being an accomplice in her husband's murder. Just kidding!
Often-incoherent podcaster Candace Owens fired back at Erika Kirk as the widow finally addressed the conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie Kirk's death and Turning Point USA, claiming the widow "missed the mark" and accused her of using "the exact same emotional strategy deployed by BLM." "It is a positively ABSURD notion that you cannot critique a 150 million dollar organization because the CEO says they are like a family, and are grieving," Owens railed on X. "It is the exact same emotional strategy deployed by BLM in the wake of George Floyd's death, when I called out their shady financial dealings." Erika Kirk has been publicly pushing back for the first time on rampant conspiracy theories flying around the internet by conservative activists about her husband's assassination -- among them Owens, a once close friend of Charlie's. ... She's repeatedly gone after Erika, who was named CEO of Turning Point USA -- the massive conservative activist organization founded by Charlie. Owens later attacked Erika on her podcast for not addressing the rumors publicly as the new CEO of the company, but as a mourning widow. "It completely missed the mark for me. I am sorry. It just has. But the good news is that she is now un-murking the water in terms of her intentions with this massive political organization," Owens said on her podcast after Kirk's TV appearance.What she means is that Erika Kirk, by telling Owens to stop defaming her, has confirmed that TPUSA was in on the murder plot all along. This is why I have been so vitriolic about conspiracy theorists and their maniacal belief that anyone pushing back against the conspiracy theory is just further proof of the conspiracy theory being right. Every time I've railed against conspiracy theorists lately, I have been thinking of this ugly Low-IQ grifter whore. I guess i should have said so. When confronted by one of her own lunatic supporters about her promise to "stop" if Erika asked her to, Candace Owens, get this, prevaricates. She claims that Erika didn't tell her to stop, but to stop lying, and because she's not lying (she claims), she'll keep on doing what she does. Except she lied right there, didn't she? Not only is Candace Owens refusing to "stop" as she promised she would do if asked, but she's doubling down and attacking Erika Kirk more, accusing her of showing "no passion" in talking about the murder of her husband -- wink, wink -- and giving "ChatGPT answers" when accused of murder. Another of Candace Owens' conspiracy theories is that Erika Kirk is hiding his body by not publicizing the location of his grave. Which she assumes would be immediately vandalized and desecreated by the left, forever. But no, this is further proof she is hiding the body to cover up her own involvement in his murder. She says she is building a beautiful memorial for Charlie Kirk, which will be public. But she seems to, understandably I think, want to keep the location of his actual grave private. Erika Kirk says she is in fact scared that the jury has been "tainted" by both left-wing support of left-wing killers and conspiracy theorists claiming that she is the Real Killer of her husband. Erika Kirk and TPUSA haven't sued Candace Owens for defamation and intentional infliction of extreme emotional distress... yet. Owens should remember that when Alex Jones accused parents of children killed in a school shooting of pretending their kids had been killed, a jury absolutely destroyed him with a multi-billion dollar judgment. That is way too much, but Owens should keep in mind that when you accuse people who are the victims of a tragedy of being complicit in that tragedy, a jury can decide that your lies are worth billions of dollars. Remember, Candace Owens is just "anti-Zionist" not anti-Jew you guys. Allie Beth Stuckey This woman had a great grandfather she never met who was Jewish so Candace Owens -- not antisemitic, mind you, just "anti-Zionist" -- accuses her of being "tribal." Tucker Carlson decided to weigh in on the Jews Killed Charlie Kirk Conspiracy Theory, of course. The grifting potential is just too tempting. He does his usual cowardly signalling that he likes the conspiracy theory without having the guts to sign his name to it. He says he supports Candace Owens in her search for "truth," and says that she is acting in good faith when she accuses Erika Kirk of arranging her husband's murder. Then he says he does not trust the FBI, thereby discarding the evidence against Tyler Robinson.
I used to say "No, Tucker isn't just doing this for the money, he's a Nepo Baby and heiress (yes, I said heiress) to the Swanson frozen food fortune. He doesn't need the money." Now I'm not so sure. It can't be a coincidence that Tucker Carlson always goes where the clicks are. And it can't be a coincidence that the guests he keeps having on to spread propaganda just happen to be paid foreign agents.

I am what is popularly referred to as a Mormon, in reality a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Gotta say, the idea that we have secret bee worship section is a new one. Certainly the bee is one of the many symbols we use, but worship it? Um, no. And the bee symbol itself is mostly tied to Utah and pioneer history; as the Church goes worldwide the bee is fading as far as any sort of relevance goes. That said, the word "Deseret" is translated as honeybee, so if you see Deseret, it is associated with the bee. Posted by: SimoHayek at December 12, 2025 01:25 PM (0Aoc4) 25
My wife was a Candace Owens fan so I get to hear WAY more about her than I'd like.
Frankly unless she's being spit-roasted wearing high heels and stockings and nothing else, I don't care about her or anything she says or does. She's a con artist, a greedy grifter and very probably mentally ill. Which means the spit roasting scene is probably also fetish porn and not just regular porn.

Conversely, Tucker claiming he's met people whom he never has. Bill Ackman is the latest example. (Ackman calls Tucker a "soulless POS".).

Also: Utah Valley, which is where Robinson's trial is being held, is absolutely NOT a hotbed of leftism. If they get a jury from Utah valley/Utah county, it should be pretty easy to get a conviction, and the state is pushing for the death penalty. And the legislature is under a lot of pressure to actually reform the appellate system so as to make sure these death penalties get carried out so someone doesn't just grow old and die in prison, as happened recently.

>>.Wasn't she somehow involved in the Gamergate thing, and that's what put her on the map?
I don't think so. She claimed she had been doxxed or defamed or something (irony!) so she wanted to create a site called "Social Autopsy" where poeple could dox the doxxers. Two left-wing women -- one of them, IIRC, the left-wing gamergate whore Zoe Quinn -- told her that was a terrible idea, because if you create a site where people can post unvetted defamatory material about internet "harassers," of course the harassers will just use the site to dox more victims. That was 100% right. But Owens is a low-IQ narcissist who thinks that every stupid idea she has is brilliant, so she began spiraling out claiming these left-wing women were trying to trick her into abandoning her brilliant idea. She was a left-winger then. She says she became "right wing" because these left-wing women tried to "trick" here. She has never been right wing. She has always been a left-wing narcissist looking for attention and fame. Posted by: ace at December 12, 2025 01:32 PM (1wjle) 63

I think the Judge in this case has gotten marching orders: Make sure the trial is very fair, and then give him the death penalty, with no reason for an appeal to succeed. The judge is highly regarded as a fair judge, so I think this is going to be a by the book judicial execution.

Yes, Alberta Oil Peon: The honeybee is a symbol of industriousness, hard work, and community. Which is why the Mormon pioneers adopted it, and it is the state symbol of Utah. But the word "Deseret" is a Book of Mormon word (originally tracing to Egyptian 'dsrt') that was explicitly listed as translating to the word honeybee.
As such, the word Deseret entered the greater Utah cultural area... and the original name for the territory that wanted to become a state was the territory of Deseret. Congress changed it to "Utah." And chopped down the boundaries. The beehive was the state symbol back then and still is now. The "University of Deseret" became the University of Utah, but the Deseret News is still one of the two leading newspapers in the state. Posted by: SimoHayek at December 12, 2025 01:36 PM (0Aoc4) 92

I don't know if it's a great idea setting up the left's Führry as likely to get away with it. And I'm as pessimistic as the next guy, I completely understand where you're coming from. But when he's charged, and finally gets some measly manslaughter charge or something everyone will cheer, "he didn't actually get away with it!" And the truth is:
- he shouldn't have gotten away with it. - leftists shouldn't be assassinating their opponents. - leftists shouldn't be targeting their opponents for assassination - leftists shouldn't be cheering the assassination of their opponents - leftist's opponents should be free to engage in whatever debate they wish whenever and without fear of violence But, instead, we will be glad that as we are all hunted down, one by one, and the entirety of the media cheer on their dogs, there is at least a chance a leftist somewhere will be prosecuted for it.

As far as the bullet... wasn't the idea that the bullet hit the top of Kirk's bullet proof vest and ricochet up into his neck? That would seem to rob much of the energy, and change the trajectory, so if there was an "exit hole" wasn't it in the ceiling instead of the wall behind Kirk?
I could be totally wrong, of course... I haven't followed this particular conspiracy theory except I know that leftists use it, when they aren't gloating about Kirk being murdered. Posted by: SimoHayek at December 12, 2025 01:40 PM (0Aoc4) 114

i keep making the "dry drunk" point. I learned about that from Dan Riehl. I think it refers to an alcoholic who stopped drinking but who still has the quick temper his brain learned to have from being pickled for years at a time. Someone else told me it's when an alcoholic gives up the sauce but never addresses the problems that led to the alcoholism in the first place. Remember when Andrew Sullivan went from being sexually rapt by George W. Bush to despising him? There is a type of political junkie for whom the only thing that matters is believing in some quasi-religious political ideology with a zealot's fury. It doesn't matter what is believed, just that the Believer Believes. Thus, Andrew Sullivan can go from writing "Mash Notes to Bush" on Monday to denouncing him as Satan by Saturday.

- Vincent Di Maio was America's leading gunshot pathologist and wrote the literal book on gunshot wounds used a key legal treatise on the matter. Mas and Jim Cirrillo (now deceased for about ten years) were good friends with Vincent. Basically, high powered bullets depending on construction can do all sorts of seemingly weird twists and turns when they hit obstructions. The old Mark VII bullet from the Brits in 303 was a battlefield killer beyond its modest ballistics as is the 5.56 55 gr fmj. That is because when they hit any solid obstruction, bone, metal, even drywall in the case of 5.56, they become tumbling ass over teakettle aka keyholing--can happen internally shredding a body or by making truly large exit wounds. All depends on angle, force remaining in the bullet, force expended by entry, obstacles, etc. and meeting the requirement for enough ft pds to exit the human skin. That is just for full metal jackets. Hunting bullets are often specifically designed to stay in teh body but cause immediate death because in and out means a long chase of a wounded animal. Considered inhumane. Posted by: whig at December 12, 2025 01:42 PM (WDjG6) 128

And calling for critics or Owens to "stop" was never going to work in Owens case nor pass muster in a free speech society. It only feeds the beast. In my view, she needs to assemble her team and calmly, impersonally, rationally expose Owens' lies and Owens herself (and how she reflects sicknesses in the culture). Also, to enunciate the qualities and virtues of her husband and by extension the value of Turning Point. Posted by: Ordinary American at December 12, 2025 01:43 PM (VnsnO) 132

As such, the word Deseret entered the greater Utah cultural area... and the original name for the territory that wanted to become a state was the territory of Deseret. Congress changed it to "Utah." And chopped down the boundaries. The beehive was the state symbol back then and still is now. The "University of Deseret" became the University of Utah, but the Deseret News is still one of the two leading newspapers in the state.
Posted by: SimoHayek at December 12, 2025 01:36 PM (0Aoc4) Thank you. I knew there is a Mormon connection to the word "Deseret".

Re bullets.
A lot of people are listening to military types discussing terminal ballistics which is an issue. FMJ required by the Hague conventions is a different critter than hunting bullets (which are forbidden btw). Second, because most of the military bullets are designed for long range potential, you don't see the destabilizing effects (other than the original M193 55g BT) of keyholing from a bullet ballistic instability caused in part by the center of gravity as well as being boat tailed. The Mark VII got its rep from "the forward third of the bullet's interior was filled with a lighter material" with a cupro nickel and otherwise lead core. That made it unstable when it hit even skin.

Hunting bullets, under no such Hague Convention rules, have assorted selectivity depending on what you want. Target types are thinly skinned and have an explosive effect on entry from teh jacket shedding and fragmentation (unless bonded) but penetrate relatively poorly and are diverted by hard obstacles like bone, etc. There are hunting bullets that are bullet designs for tough skinned game emphasizing penetration rather than bullet deformation aka Nosler's Partition or Remington's Core Lokt designed to mushroom and penetrate creating large wound channels. And there are intermediate type bullets for thin skinned game so the bullet is retained in the body aka deer hunting bullets. These are designed to expand within the body often giving relatively small entry wounds and often no exit wound through various designs like plastic ballistic tips, open tipped, etc.
To know terminal ballistics, a ballistician figures type of game, bullet weight, bullet design with that weight, cost, and the needed velocity to generate optimal terminal effect. Military throws in fmj (or equivalent) as another limiting factor. So you can get odd bounces there confounding internet experts. Posted by: whig at December 12, 2025 01:57 PM (WDjG6) 218
I didn't know Tucker was a drunk. I like his theory about dry-drunks.
I think many drunks have an overwhelming pain when they think of something in their lives, usually some failure of some kind, and they drink to ease that pain. So I guess a dry drunk would take extreme bullying steps to show how they are superior and not failures. (I know this because my older brother is a drunk. He spends his spare time destroying anything I do, and calling up me and my family and harassing us. He is obsessed with how inferior he is, and of course I have tried to understand what is going on.) Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at December 12, 2025 01:57 PM (uxVjF) 219

She still has children she has to be strong for, she has these crazies saying whatever, and there is a trial for the man who killed her husband going on, something she doesn’t want to taint. Her husband died, but life still moves on and she has to figure out navigating through it all. There is no handbook for this.

He's giddy because for the first time in his life he's being acknowledged and accepted by a large group of people (albeit lunatics).

This is the part of Tucker's comments that I think people are referring to:
"So it's about 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem and Jesus shows up and he starts talking about the people in power. And he starts doing the worst thing that you can do, which is telling the truth about people. And they hate it. And they just go bonkers. They hate it. And they become obsessed with making him stop. This guy's got to stop talking. We've got to shut this guy up. And I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamplit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about what do we do about this guy telling the truth about us. We must make him stop talking! And there's always one guy with the bright idea, and I can just hear him say, I've got an idea, why don't we just kill him?"

Here is the thing, and I did not know this until Kelly herself said it - Ben Shapiro was the one who encouraged Kelly to start her network after she was dumped by ABC , or NBC , whatever. Took her out to CA where he was at the time with the Daily Wire, showed her the operation and financials, everything, and encouraged her to branch out on her own. And that is how she is - backstabber. She did something similar at Fox and implicating Roger Ailes with MeTOO garbage. He never recovered. She stabbed Trump. And he never trusted her again and kepted her at a great distance ever since.

To know terminal ballistics, a ballistician figures type of game, bullet weight, bullet design with that weight, cost, and the needed velocity to generate optimal terminal effect. Military throws in fmj (or equivalent) as another limiting factor.
So you can get odd bounces there confounding internet experts. Posted by: whig at December 12, 2025 01:57 PM (WDjG6) Along with the work of ballisticians, terminal effect experts perform tests of bullet designs on representative targets made of ballistic gelatin covered with animal hide, human clothing, etc., as needed. Bones, real or artificial, including spinal columns and skulls, will be included in or outside the ballistic gel. I do not know if animal carcasses are still used for such tests. They used to be the standard terminal effects targets. Posted by: Gref at December 12, 2025 02:08 PM (5rh/l) 273

I just uttered a profanity I had sworn off. What the fuck is wrong with some of you? Posted by: ace ===== Society moving from high trust to low trust exhibits all kinds of costs. So basically everyone is making up lists of what sources they trust and what they don't and this allows all sorts of lunacy based on pure reasoning without evidence. And thus even the lack of evidence somehow becomes transformed into positive evidence based on nothing more than feelz (and in carny influencer shill types, money behind it). Eurotrash want MAGA split as does Uniparty, Big corporations, China, Russia, WEF, etc. And these evil bastards are willing to pay out the ass for influencers to "just ask questions" and shill disunity on the netz whether it is Epstein, Ham Ass/Qatar, or Charlie Kirk's killing.

Posted by: Elric The Blade at December 12, 2025 01:22 PM (iFTx/) Alex Jones, like Trump in the "bank fraud" case, didn't even get a trial. The entire court proceeding was the penalty phase. The court was not trying to determine if he had done anything wrong, but to figure out how much the the thing the judge had already decided he was guilty if was going to cost him. (BTW, I think Jones is an asshole and is best left ignored, and what he said about Sandy Hook was horrendous, but he was absolutely and undeservedly railroaded in that case.)

I probably shouldn't even bring it up, but it's an observation that may or may not explain why Owens feels emboldened to defame her in such a way.
Posted by: Frasier Crane It really has nothing to do with how Mrs. Kirk acts. When a vengeful woman has decided you must be destroyed - as it appears Owens has decided Erika Kirk must be destroyed - she will use anything and everything against you. Since she's not publicly breaking down in tears, the attack line is "She's in on it and not mourning at all" If she were publicly breaking down in tears the attack line would be any thing from "She's crying from guilt" to "she's faking it for sympathy" to "She too emotionally unstable to lead TPUSA". Literally any stick is good enough to beat the target with, for a vengeful woman.

Posted by: Gref ====== Every hunter in the field does testing by experience as well. Live animal testing and using autopsy results from humans being shot is a pretty morbid subject involving close up pictures of damage, a knowledge of ballistics, and also of biology. Way back in 1904, the infamous Thompson–LaGarde Tests used cattle in 1904 and some human cadavers for such testing. And we have used goats, pigs, etc. for trauma testing and training for battlefield meds for a long while. Posted by: whig at December 12, 2025 02:18 PM (WDjG6) 312

"Another of Candace Owens' conspiracy theories is that Erika Kirk is hiding his body by not publicizing the location of his grave. Which she assumes would be immediately vandalized and desecrated by the left, forever."
When Abraham Lincoln's body was brought and buried in Springfield, Illinois, it was originally in a ground-level tomb.

Posted by: tcn in AK ========== I don't think she is ill, she enjoys it as a sociopath. That sort of person is evil, not mentally ill and in particular this response to Erika comes from Candace being fired from any connection with Kirk's Turning Point movement back in 2019 and her slyly intimating about wanting to get back in a position running it after Charlie was murdered. Encylopedia Brittanica, "Candace Owens resigned from Turning Point USA in 2019 after a controversy over comments she had made about Adolf Hitler." She's evil and vile.

When Abraham Lincoln's body was brought and buried in Springfield, Illinois, it was originally in a ground-level tomb. But, after threats and conspiracies to dig the body up and desecrate it, a new tomb was built (which I have been in) and his body was buried 16 feet below it and encased in a thick concrete vault to prevent that.
Posted by: RonF ======== Actually went as far as doing graverobbing but the group had a Secret Service informant and a trap was laid: "On the night of the attempt (Election Day evening 1876), law enforcement surrounded the tomb and waited. The robbers broke in, sawed off the padlock, pried open the marble sarcophagus, and moved the wooden coffin about 15 inches before being interrupted. An accidental gunshot from a detective’s weapon caused confusion, and the thieves fled the scene before they could fully remove the body. They escaped out the east gate of the cemetery but were captured in Chicago ten days later." Brave AI summary. Posted by: whig at December 12, 2025 02:30 PM (WDjG6) 359

When tallying up all the ways Kirk's widow has been attacked and smeared since his murder, don't forget the fact that she, extraordinarily, forgave the killer at Kirk's memorial ceremony, and the Left's toxic response was to claim she only did so because the killer was a White Male and she's just so gosh-darned racists she couldn't bring herself to stay mad at him.

Bravo, Ace. Agree with all you wrote, and you do it with great words and thoughts.
"Heiress to Swanson Foods" made me laugh. Tucker is so worried about they gheys now it makes me wonder about him! Maybe he's moose limb since he hates Jews and Christians.I spit in his general direction. Candace is a special brand of insanity. I can't quite put my finger on it except paranoid schizophrenia with a ton of narcissism and borderline personality disorder swimming around. I liked her, briefly, over a decade ago. Have never listened to her podcast as I ain't got time. Going off the deep end into a shallow pool with no water is on display. "She's too busy" for a full debate, because "her husband says so." Or something bullsharte and stinky. I add coward to all the other adjectives. I hope Kirk's family sue her to oblivion. So weird to do what she's doing for attention (narcissism). The fact that she was not asked to their wedding or his funeral is telling, no matter how important to Charlie Kirk she tries to tell herself she was. She's like an unpinned grenade and I would never want her near me. I hope there is a pill for this, or electroshock therapy. Also...SHAME ON YOU!

Alex Jones, like Trump in the "bank fraud" case, didn't even get a trial. The entire court proceeding was the penalty phase. The court was not trying to determine if he had done anything wrong, but to figure out how much the the thing the judge had already decided he was guilty if was going to cost him. (BTW, I think Jones is an asshole and is best left ignored, and what he said about Sandy Hook was horrendous, but he was absolutely and undeservedly railroaded in that case.)
Posted by: tankdemon at December 12, 2025 02:12 PM (0iZzW) Undeservedly is doing some heavy lifting there. The judge found him liable because he failed to respond to discovery and court orders, iirc. The monetary award was obscene, sure, but he absolutely deserved to have to pay out some damages for defaming people. Posted by: Sjg at December 12, 2025 03:43 PM (aqZN1) 375
I thought I had vented enough but apparently not.
Candace acts like a woman scorned by the love of her life. Let's imagine for a moment that Candace has always been jealous of Erika and blames her for being ousted as part of Kirk's inner circle. Not getting an invitation to their wedding (throws temper tantrum). Loses job (throws hissy fits & eyeballs pop). Has babies & that is not enough for her. She was rejected, her ego! She will have revenge! Uses Kirk's death to make up fairy tales about their "friendship." Marries some guy three years before Kirk, when he started dating Erika.No invitation. There is a reason she was not invited to their wedding in 2021. She left Turning Point in 2019. Some say due to anti-semitism, but I don't know. Was fired from Daily Wire a year ago due to anti-semitism...so that seems to be a pattern with this hysterical beetch on wheels. For her, in 2025, to even THINK she should be part of Kirk's funeral is insane, as is she. Fairytale thinking. Morphing truth into a narrative she alone likes. Her ego boost. She must be a ton of fun to live with. Her husband should be careful as she can turn on a dime. I'd sleep with a weapon under my pillow.

Posted by: Bulg at December 12, 2025 01:56 PM “Ultimately [Kirk] was a Christian evangelist, and it actually reminds me of my favorite story ever. So it’s about 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem, and Jesus shows up and he starts talking about the people in power, and he starts doing the worst thing that you can do, which is telling the truth about people, and they hate it, and they just go bonkers. They hate it, and they become obsessed with making him stop: ‘This guy’s got to stop talking. We’ve got to shut this guy up.’ And I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamp-lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about — what do we do about this guy telling the truth about us? We must make him stop talking! And there’s always one guy with a bright idea, and I can just hear him say, ‘I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we just kill him? That’ll shut him up, that’ll fix the problem.’ It doesn’t work that way. It doesn’t work that way.” Grok full answer: https://bit.ly/3KUQ5MG Posted by: Clyde Shelton at December 12, 2025 04:16 PM (P5BPp) 379

I've considered Owens a grifter for years, and it's been surprising that Carlson and Kelly, whom I actually respect, have defended her so much. However, I equally despise the Jewish blogging fraternity, who have piled on slur after slur against these people, and all because the Jewish Right supports the State of Israel over the interests of the United States.
Owens should be given a forum to make her case and be scrutinized. Hopefully Carlson or Kelly themselves will do it. And if her claims don't hold up, she should be shunned, just as Alex Jones was. Sunlight is a great disinfectant. Posted by: Exiled2Texas at December 12, 2025 05:12 PM (YINx+) 382

I love to read a reddit site called Saint Meghyn Markle. Because they archive UK DM stories about her highness, the Duchass of Sucksex. She gets no clicks this way and I can snicker at the snark. I hope someone dreams up an archive site for the people who are curious about what she spews next. That way she won't profit from her lies and slander, made up in her schizo mind. Granted, I can't stand her, but I'd have to be hog tied with toothpicks opening my eyes to watch her podcast. And gagged to keep me from lalalala or humming against her lying voice. I don't watch her at all, fearing she's somehow making a buck from me. I also think she's evil. Her eyes look wonky evil. I do not partake in evil and pray against it. I guess I will include her name in my prayers against esslam, trans, and evil in general. The list gets longer every day. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at December 12, 2025 06:13 PM (WONhk) 383
Let me spell it out for y’all caught up in the weeds. Tucker, Candace, et al may have been marginal at best before their recent descent into apparent insanity. In reality, they are a minor part of a huge psyop to extinguish Trump mania and conservative power by fracturing and delegitimization. I would suspect they have been all threatened with physical as well as economic destruction if they do not keep pushing more and more weird stuff. They are all but blinking SOS as they deliver the nonsense online. The best we can do is totally ignore them rather than waste time trying to deconstruct their nonsense.

As you know, in the propaganda media, no amount of evidence is ever enough to disprove a left-wing talking point. A point is only settled against a leftist if he admits it. What is even more astounding is Regime Apologist Ezra Klein's reaction to this admission. Newsom's admission doesn't cause Klein to say, "Well, it turns out Trump wasright when he said Democrat states pay for health care for illegals." No, it causes him to re-assert that Trump "lies" about this, followed by praising Newsom for having the guts to make Trump's "lies" a reality.If it's true... how is Trump "lying," Ezra?

Before we wrap up talking about Buckley, willowed comment:
The William F Buckley vs Gore Vidal debate proves that leftists have been calling the right Nazis forever. Nothing new under the sun. Buckley was ruled by the media to have lost the debate when he called Vidal a Fag. But Vidal IMO had already sunk too low when he called Buckley a Nazi. Buckley flew into a rage, and while he should have kept his cool I totally understand it. The best revenge for the right, is that gore Vidal has faded into utter irrelevancy. At one point it was required to have his books on your self if you were a proper lefty. But no one cares about him anymore.

The way things are going this just might happen. ------------------------- Sure, if there's 25% turnout in the next election. A reason why I aggressively dislike doomerism about elections is that it's quite correctible. Even if a local GOP is run by morons, there are quite a lot of PACs that do GOTV efforts now. We could all join or support one to make sure voters actually vote. That's the problem we've been having with these off-year special elections this year - ultra low turnout that makes the AWFLs seem like they are replicating when they are a shrinking demographic almost by definition.

It’s against federal law to provide those benefits to illegal aliens. In their lawsuit against the federal government states like California actually made the argument they were not knowingly in violation of federal law for those benefits.

I believe that Newsom's whole draw is that he is very obviously loathsome. Loathsome Newsom, that works really well actually.
But the way it works is the left truly hates Trump. Even though Trump was a bit lefty. A lefty of a few decades ago, that degree of lefty, mostly on the social liberal side. But because they hate that he now stands in their way, and hate that he is sometimes, not often, but on occasion successful in opposing them they posses an existential hatred of the man. And like any cargo cult in that situation they have brought forward their "Trump" a person who's only feature is they know he is really truly loathsome as they loath Trump.

So a lot (all?) of those $ spent on "healthcare" for illegals is federal, right?
Thus, the O-care portion, surely, is being illegally spent, as that abomination of a disaster of an unconstitutional "law" expressly prohibited it. Which just again raises the question of why Trump's HHS, whose secretary is given unbelievable dictatorial powers under that same law, never uses those powers to strangle/destroy/dismantle that enormous anchor around the country's neck. A question raised by a few in the first term, where again nothing was done. So has the administration moved to end/block all $ to CA and other states proportional to those funds being illegally spent on illegal aliens? And is HHS gonna do anything else using its enormous discretion under the existing law? Posted by: rhomboid at December 12, 2025 12:34 PM (U/Byj) 73

Ezra Klein of Journo List fame must be working for some other Dem. He wouldn't have put this out if he wasn't. Newsom is now in someone's cross hairs (not involving guns of course) Posted by: Smell the Glove =============== There's another theory: Klein just co-wrote a book called "Abundance" and has developed something called "the abundance theory" (or something) in which he supposedly tackles the Democrats' eternal failure to get things done, all while making people more prosperous, not less. It seems like he's frustrated with continuing Democrat failures and he's trying to make a change in Democrat policies and the ideology itself. He's 5% onto something, but I've seen him talk about other things and he's way too blind and stupid to make the biggest and most obvious connections.

Whomever the GOP candidate for President in 2028 is, (and if Newsom is the Dem) they need to insist that one of the debates needs to be seated without a table so that the country can see Newsom perform the Nutcracker.

This is not news. This is not a win. He has been saying this for the last three years. It was his way of begging terrorists, rapists, and drug dealers to come to his state. However, while illegals get free health care and tuition-all the way through college, CA residents must pay for their health care. The health care is $10 Billion per year that illegals get, so $30 Billion just in free health care. Remember that when they start talking about amnesty and paying a $250 fine.

"Now, since Trump has already gotten control of the border, I guess that means we can move straight to amnesty." - Archimedes
Exactly the situation. And the amnesty will be lawless and "administrative", just as Biden/Obama worst of all, but also other administrations, misused discretion to create de facto amnesty (culminating in the worst case, DACA). Still likely that enough GOP senators will remain terrified to vote for actual amnesty (41), despite being desperate to do so - assuming a few don't do a banzai charge and retire before their next primary - so lawless abuse of power will be the only option. Border can be opened/closed like a door. Trump 2.0 just dramatically illustrated this. Reason #1,321 why removals of illegals is an urgent matter, and the administration should play like they're 20 points behind. They are, mostly - but not in the most important area, employment. Posted by: rhomboid at December 12, 2025 01:00 PM (U/Byj) 183
Which just again raises the question of why Trump's HHS, whose secretary is given unbelievable dictatorial powers under that same law, never uses those powers to strangle/destroy/dismantle that enormous anchor around the country's neck. A question raised by a few in the first term, where again nothing was done.
So has the administration moved to end/block all $ to CA and other states proportional to those funds being illegally spent on illegal aliens? And is HHS gonna do anything else using its enormous discretion under the existing law? Posted by: rhomboid ===== They are but DC courts. Plus, all blue states are having to be sued to get basic information on voting lists, Medicaid recipients, and so on. Cutting off funds implicates the APA and other laws so all of that takes time including overcoming adverse lower court decisions even if the law is black letter. See Planned Parenthood cutoff ruling from a Boston district court judge despite BBB specifically cutting those funds off. Basically legal mumbo jumbo ruling, "it ain't fair to single out PP by cutting off their funds." See Liberty interest of the 14th Amendment as quasi justification although misapplied here.

Posted by: rhomboid From a public safety standpoint, removing criminals and terrorists should come first. Every American killed by an illegal criminal is one needless death. Second, Trump is trying to keep the economy going at the same time other disruptive moves are being made---tariffs shifting countries of production, supply chains for critical goods like food and pharma, probably some quid pro quo involving Latin countries that play ball on Venezuela (foreign and domestic issue), etc. Trump and his team are masters at economic policy even in his first term, and he is in a rush which is why all the GOPe, Dems, and black robed tyrants are out to disrupt, delay, and deny his ability to roll back the tide.

Well whig then the urgency of the matter is even greater than I claimed. And of course another case in which the administration should meet the lawless "courts" with defiance - and there are often sneaky ways to do that in such matters. Just stop funding by the amount estimated (and now admitted) to being used contrary to law. Let a court try to compel disbursement.
Finally, finally, finally - start to put the judiciary back in its place. Which is far far below and much less important than it has, disastrously, been allowed to become. There are infinite rationalizations to comply with the imaginary imperatives the Legal Cult has invented, and they lead to where we are today. Administration has a choice to be either a speed bump, or a change in direction. Posted by: rhomboid at December 12, 2025 01:09 PM (U/Byj) 212

Economic rationalization for what could be a disastrously slow approach to the employment lever on mass illegal migration doesn't wash.
There are certain sectors to start with, and ways to do it, that minimize disruption - in fact both common sense and previous examples show there is a net economic benefit, and pretty quickly, to American citizens involved. And this approach has been laid out and known since the first term. No administration can control the future or the idiocies the American people will tolerate or even embrace. But the choice between speed bump and change of direction is entirely up to the administration. Posted by: rhomboid at December 12, 2025 01:16 PM (U/Byj) 234

Posted by: rhomboid ===== That is a Crossing the Rubicon situation and you have to consider then what will be done in a future Democrat administration. The problem, I think, is that our ruling elite now simply are done with popular democracy and taking them on is about on par with Caesar facing the decaying Roman Republic's Senate diktats. It is actually far easier to replace an individual tyrant than a system of tyranny unless you want to go Sulla on them. Proscriptions are required and taking their generational wealth away from them. Then any such ruler will never be able to sleep without one eye open. Cromwell had it easier. He only had the Royalists to fight.

Posted by: cmeat at December 12, 2025 04:04 PM (R11M+) The “Affordability Crisis” - Home Prices and Apartment Rents Are Decreasing as Deportations Increase![]() The Department of Homeland Security announced on Wednesday that an estimated 2.5 million illegal aliens have left the country since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term.Over 600,000 aliens have been deported and another 1.9 million have self-deported. Those 2.5 million people were occupying a lot of housing that is now competing for new tenants. The “affordability crisis” is a term being thrown around by those who want to sabotage the Trump presidency and help Democrats defeat Republicans in the mid-terms next November. But by causing millions of illegal aliens to depart the country, the Trump administration is actually taking powerful action to reduce the cost of housing and shelter. Coincidentally, most of the NeverTrump critics trying to kneecap the Trump agenda with the “affordability” issue are hell-bent on stopping deportations and throwing the border back open to illegal labor. Those people parroting the “affordability crisis” talking points need to be challenged to admit that Donald Trump’s deportations and closed border are bringing down the cost of housing. Reducing the cost of housing is the highest priority when talking about “affordability,” and President Trump’s policies are making it happen.

I keep seeing the 1.6M self-deportations figure, but no explanation as to its origin. I'd say a bit of caution is in order.
From Buck's cite: the number of illegal immigrants who have self-deported is just an estimation as a vast majority of migrants leaving without informing the government. At President Donald Trump’s six-month mark in office, the Department of Homeland Security reported 150,000 deportations with a combined total of 1.6 million illegal immigrants having left the country. However, DHS only recorded roughly 13,000 migrants who have self-deported. These self-deportations were tracked by the CBP Home App created by the Department, which gave illegal immigrants a free flight and a $1,000 bonus for leaving the country. https://is.gd/Gi0Smo Posted by: Archimedes at December 12, 2025 11:04 AM (Riz8t) Posted by: Anna Puma at December 12, 2025 11:06 AM (MeJZi) 11

Our home in Western WA dropped $6000 in the last month according to Zillow. We purchased it in 2000 for $350k, it now lists between 1M - 1.3M. Time to sell and move to the southwest where it rarely rains.

Buuuuut, almost all of the critics, straight up hate it, which makes me wonder if he somehow violated some libtardian principle and that set their hair on fire.

I'm blessed to not have a mortgage but Colorado policies (thanks wino moms) have made the property insurance costs crazy high. I think they made a rule for homes that the insurance company has to pay cost to replace the home instead of keeping it the home owners responsibility to pay attention and increase $ coverage as needed after the Superior fire in 2021 a few years ago left a lot of owners unable to rebuild what with Boulder county imposing costly regulations plus construction supplies still feeling a covid pinch. The people who lost their homes get no help from this after the fact rule, it just raises insurance prices. And of course illegals on the road, and the general commie mindset of "if I do something stupid and get hurt someone needs to give me $$$$" make car and liability insurance expensive.

I agree with all of this, of course millions of illegals plopping down in the US are going to effect rental and housing prices. Especially entry level ones. Add in groceries , food prices, cars, social services, energy etc.
But when you're talking about say 1-2% decrease in rent, I think more needs to be done on this front. I keep saying that conservatives need to be more "populist" when it comes to Wall Street's newfound love of single family housing and owning rental properties. Also, wrangle in the short term rentals. So many starter houses have been gobbled up by investors. Make this a less appealing investment and watch a huge amount of inventory become available.

Housing costs in my area peeked in spring of this year - before Trump's deportations started.
And this is a core thing - price is highly dependent on demand So if you remove people that need housing prices will decline. Supply and Demand.

I think what's driving the affordability issue more than anything is the spiraling cost of health care, which some in the media probably know but won't really do a deep dive on, since a lot of it's being driven by Obamacare.
Either way, it is a problem, and whatever the pros and cons of the tariff issue, I think (hindsight is 20/20, as always) Trump would have done better to hammer that instead. Though it's an open question whether the GOP would have given him any support. Posted by: Dr. T at December 12, 2025 11:23 AM (lHPJf) 71

There are a lot of new apartments and homes coming on line in the next 12 months or so. Many were delayed for years during covid. So this is yet another market anomaly the negative effects of which you can blame on covid hysteria.
If you drive around most major cities, you'll see tons of residential construction. At least two new high-rise condos are going up around my place in Manhattan. One in particular I know was delayed 24 months due in part to covid. These are not totally "new" apartments, as older apartment buildings were knocked down to build these, but they are bigger (more rooms) and almost certainly more high-end.

From a purely optics standpoint, Trump vigorously raising tariffs early in his term was not good timing.
The biggest reason Trump got elected was because of the cost of living under Biden. The tariffs are not responsible for why things are still expensive, but even among friends/family I have that voted Trump, they blame a lot of the new reality of high prices on "tariffs". Posted by: Leupold at December 12, 2025 11:18 AM (eIzlH) It was a calculated risk; the fastest way to get employment moving up and costs moving down was to rapidly repair the massive trade imbalances between the US and the rest of the world, and shaking everyone up with the tarriffs was by far the fastest way to do that. But it risked the bad optics, as you say. So whether it pays off or not depends on whether the economy begins to noticably improve. I actually think the chances are very good.

But some prices are actually coming down. As Ace and I have been discussing, gasoline prices are historically low thanks to Trump’s drill-baby-drill energy policy.
What does "historically low" mean? Prices are not even back to the low national averages that existed during the Obama Administration and Trump 45 Administration years. Over 600,000 aliens have been deported and another 1.9 million have self-deported. Those 2.5 million people were occupying a lot of housing that is now competing for new tenants. That's a great start. But considering there were about 40-50 million illegal aliens in the country -- with I think 10 million brought in under the Biden/Obama Administration from January 2021 to January 2025 -- 2.5 million is only 5% of the total and 25% of what came in under Biden/Obama. At this rate, we'll only be rid of the 10 million brought in under Biden by the end of President Trump's 2nd term. Which is good, of course. But not anywhere near sufficient. 100% of illegal aliens need to be deported asap. And if Democrats take over Congress in January 2027 and a MAGA Republican does not win the Presidency in 2028...

Republicans in Congress have a solution.
They're going to reveal it once they've: - passed union protections for federal workers - extended the Obamacare subsidies - held hearings on whether Santa Clause is a socialist threat - passed amnesty to speedboat fishermen trying to deliver powdered "fish" to Cuba Then, and only then, can they get around to helping American citizens. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at December 12, 2025 11:25 AM (HXT0k) If by that you mean "issue a strongly worded resolution about the necessity of helping American citizens," then yes. Posted by: Dr. T at December 12, 2025 11:26 AM (lHPJf) 86
I think what's driving the affordability issue more than anything is the spiraling cost of health care, which some in the media probably know but won't really do a deep dive on, since a lot of it's being driven by Obamacare.
All that free and reduced cost healthcare is paid for by someone. And that's why people that aren't on welfare have seen their costs explode. Get rid of the free riders and costs will start to go down. And this is the only significant way, outside of rationing (which Europe does) to bring costs down. Yes you can lower paperwork (which the government/insurance companies don't want to do). Yes you can mandate price transparency. And some other small things. But if you want to get prices down for health insurance/health care costs you need to remove all those illegals and reduce the number of Americans getting freebies as well Posted by: 18-1 at December 12, 2025 11:26 AM (sKqQm) 87

My understanding also over the past decade (seemed to start with the Covid PsyOps but likely was even decades before that) what contributed much to skyrocketing rentals was the oligopoly asset managers like BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street buying up available homes and turning them into rentals.
Remember the old (Klaus Scwab and WEF?) "You will own nothing and you will be happy" bullshit? Anyone know if that's still going on? Posted by: ShainS -- Bamboo Ruminant and GayFontoPhobe at December 12, 2025 11:29 AM (25a1J) 98
I keep saying that conservatives need to be more "populist" when it comes to Wall Street's newfound love of single family housing and owning rental properties.
Posted by: Leupold ====== Deny big institutional investors any tax deduction for interest on single family home mortgages. In a sense, the leverage that large entities get from abnormally low borrowing rates compared with individuals means they have an advantage in offering cash money on homes versus individuals in hot markets. The other way is have localities strictly regulate rental housing. Most of the landlords like Blackrock are shitty landlords that often buy shitty new development homes that instantly require maintenance--hvac, quality of roofing, plumbing, and other such things are often subpar, which leads in turn to insta slum. Blackrock and others were essentially relying on govt subsidies like Section 8, refugee settlement, and others to fill their insta slums and like a NYC landlord, promptly ignore maintenance to goose their profit. They enshittify areas pretty quickly while doing the legal bribery and canoodling with developers and local pols. Often affordable housing subsidies as well.

I liked the gay guy, I liked Nicholson obviously relishing playing a detestable person with a secret heart of gold, I liked the dog, and the gay guy getting ticked his dog likes Jack. I liked Helen hunt's storyline. The harried single mom, the gay guy getting beat up, the OCD... There was a realness to the characters' lives that gets sanded off in the fluffy Romantic comedies with the teenyboppers in them. And none of them were woke or perfect. Just people. I miss Hollywood writing just people. And of course it has one of the funniest exchanges in 90s cinematic history: -- How do you write women so well? -- I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.

Sounds vaguely like Tolkein. Is Schiff carrying the Ring of Impeachment to Mt. Roberts in this analogy?
Posted by: Chuck Martel ======= Well Schiff would be more like Saruman in that scenario. But I think the Donald is aware of the issue but is relying on delegation to Bessent right now instead of speaking about it publicly. Remittances interact with Donald's foreign policy/tariff initiatives with Latin America, India, among other strategic places. JJ had a link to a story about the whole drug trade emanating from Venezuela and likely destabilizing the West Coast of Africa nations like Benin, etc. fueling Muzzie terrorism in Nigeria against Christians, etc. Venezuela has apparently become a nexus for all sorts of bad cartels and foreign players like Russia, China, and Iran to colonize in the US backyard. Also apparently Venezuelans were still involved in the Smartmatic voting machines which licensed the technology to Dominion which is coming out. Smartmatic (or whatever they call themselves now) managers ares facing prison for bribes in the Philippine Islands regarding elections there as well.

Newsweek: Mamdani Effect’ Is Seeing More People Moving to New York, Not Leaving It.
...brokerage firm Olshan Realty reports sales of luxury homes...were up by 31 percent in November compared with October...brokerage Douglas Elliman, reported a similar increase, saying that sales in November were up 25 percent from a month earlier. And anyone who needs a place despite their politics would want to buy before anyone increases taxes on that transaction. I live in a different city but heard that while visiting. While I do support many of Mamdanis policy’s, knowing that Cuomo was going to leave if Mamdani won sweetened the deal If you're the sort of rich that they're talking about, where else are you going to go to live the sort of lifestyle that NYC provides? His proposed millionaire's surtax is only 2% too. When you're rich enough to be clearing over 1mil annually, a little 2% ain't gonna be enough to offset the benefit of being located in NYC. We did the same thing in MA with a 5% surtax and surprise, the rich are still here and we funded universal school lunch and a few other things with it.

There is a redeeming aspect of "As Good as it Gets". A homosexual was brutally beaten by other homosexuals for no good reason, and this depiction matches reality to a great degree.

The problem with inflation is that it sets a "New Zero". So, in theory, things will never go back to the before Biden times. Three things helping Trump though: 1) A lot of the inflation was caused by trying top destroy the USA's cheap energy and energy production, Lower energy costs help everything go lower. 2) Massive deportation. A lot of Biden Handlers(?) plan was to drive inflation by immigration. That's being handled though I wish more aggressively. 3) Since Clinton the Democrats have been talking about "solving the debt" through inflation. Because, then we are paying our debts with worthless money. Ha ha ha! The Chinese are getting worthless dollars! Ha ha ha! What about US citizens? Fuck'em! HA HA HA!.

There's two types of bamboo: the kind that clusters, and the kind that has rhizomes that grow underground and spread like roots.
The rhizomes are nearly impossible to eradicate once they spread. You have to dig deep trenches around them and and put in heavy plastic as a barrier so they don't spread. I did my homework and planted the cluster kind of bamboo. Filled in a tough spot in my yard beautifully and quickly, never spread, easy to care for. Loved the look and the low maintenance.

I’m really skeptical about the self deportation numbers. It has an air of “jobs saved or created” from the Obama years. How does the govt even know if someone self deported. It’s not like they check in and say “hey ICE just FYI I’m leaving now”. It’s all estimates and guesses which can be inflated easily.
Home prices had to start falling eventually. At some point if nobody can afford a product the product’s price has to adjust. This is Econ 101 stuff. As for places like Austin or Phoenix a ton of people went there during Covid to escape blue state lockdowns. But then they realized they miss California or Chicago or wherever. And are moving back.

The other part of it is that Jamie Dimon just admitted that JPMorgan Chase is using Crypto and Bitcoin to do bank transfers now. Very large transfers that don't use SWIFT.
Crypto means WU has no real role in the banking world. Posted by: Kindltot ======== US has already proven it can track blockchain transactions and unwind them if necessary.

So it's been raining here in Washington State...a dreaded "atmospheric river."
Riiiigggghhhhtttt. Here's how NBC reports it: "Amid historic flooding from days of torrential rain, Washington state Governor Bob Ferguson is still waiting for the Trump Administration to approve his request for a disaster declaration. It comes as federal officials canceled a meeting yesterday to potentially downsize FEMA." Fu*k NBC. What's the story here komrades? The flood? The disaster request? The fact that the guv is still waiting (it had been less than 24 hours from when the report was written)? Or FEMA cancelling a meeting? This very story demonstrates Ferguson doesn't give a damn about the citizens of the state. Anything to trash Trump huh guv? Posted by: Diogenes at December 12, 2025 11:56 AM (2WIwB) 222

Home prices are decreasing everywhere and at all sales price points.
Most Americans largest financial asset is their ho.e. that value is dropping most Americans would not like that to happen Does Buck think that our shitty economy is also due to fewer hard working migrant home owners leaving ? Lowest current gas prices are in OK $2.50 1 year ago has prices in Ok were $2.52 When Biden left office. Inflation was less than 3% just as it is now. People no longer believe in Trump when he days things like he inherited the worst inflation in history or that the economy is doing well.

The public understanding is deeply flawed, reflecting the abysmal state of Economics education in the government schools.
Inflation is NOT the phenomenon of prices rising. It's the phenomenon of debasement of the currency. When the Treasury floods trillions of dollars into the marketplace, each dollar become worth less. Thereby requiring more dollars to purchase goods. The only was prices come down is if SUPPLY of the products increases. Blaming higher prices on 'inflation" is like blaming your car engine for stopping when in fact you've run out of gas. Posted by: proudvastrightwingguy at December 12, 2025 11:59 AM (MNCvZ) 235

That reminds me - never, and I mean never, consider a used car previously owned by an Indian person/family. The person offering it for sale will lie about every detail of it including color.
--- Never, ever, ever private sale anything to an Arab or an Indian, either. Doesn't matter what price you agree on, they will always try to change it after you agree. And, if you hate money, let them test-drive without you being in the vehicle. Because, they'll drive out of sight, sabotage it somehow, come back and demand you sell it for scrap to them.

I stayed in an Air B&B in San Antonio last summer, and was amazed at the selection of updated small homes available for short term rental near downtown San Antonio and the Pearl.
It seemed to me nearly every home (early 20th century shotguns and bungaloes) where I stayed was either a short term rental or an occupied but "deferred maintenance" dwelling. When I was ready to start a family 30 years ago, the concept of a "starter home" was something we all talked about. You could get into a good neighborhood with small homes, have your babies, and then move into something nicer when you started making real money in your late 30s. I'm not sure that option is available to young adults anymore. The ones I talk to do not want to start families while living in a rental. But the newly built 3BRs are expensive and crappy and remotely located. The older ones close to town are run down or else converted to short term rentals. I actually got to meet Sec. Scott Turner last spring, who told me HUD was working on low cost home ownership for first time buyers. But it seems like a 10-20 year project and not a 5 year project.

My husband binge watched Suits, and against my will I'd find myself dragged into the legal and personal storylines and want to find out what's happening. A really good ensemble cast with fun plot lines. Personal developments for the characters without it getting too soapy.
I think it did well on streaming reruns because it's a classic drama, not fancy but solid, and all the newer shows are dreck. It's weird to realize we lost a lot of basic competent storytellers, between the woke and the DEI and the strikes and the covid. The modern woke stuff makes suits look like it's high art.

Not true. I am in a swing state and yes, students are disappearing from public school rolls, traffic is lighter, rental vacancies are increasing, construction openings are increasing including shutdowns of entire developments in order to recruit new workers, ER wait times are shorter, etc. And aggregate statistics indicate that momentum is happening and the border being secured means the tap is turned off for new ones. If you live in a blue area in a blue sanctuary state , then you won't see as much of it as blue areas in red states. Remove the bennies, make employment uncertain, remove the criminals first, but the number are changing and it is really big but so it the US so personal observations are about as useful as figuring the weather you have is the same across the US. Illegals distribution across the US is lumpy--they stick out in rural areas, not so much in urban and suburban and blue areas. CA,NY, and IL are epicenters of illegals that have been woven into the society of these states with their large ethnic enclaves. If you don't go to those places in your state, you won't see it whether it is waxing or waning. Posted by: whig at December 12, 2025 12:11 PM (WDjG6) 267

The William F Buckley vs Gore Vidal debate proves that leftists have been calling the right Nazis forever. Nothing new under the sun.
Buckley was ruled by the media to have lost the debate when he called Vidal a Fag. But Vidal IMO had already sunk too low when he called Buckley a Nazi. Buckley flew into a rage, and while he should have kept his cool I totally understand it. The best revenge for the right, is that gore Vidal has faded into utter irrelevancy. At one point it was required to have his books on your self if you were a proper lefty. But no one cares about him anymore. Posted by: LizLem at December 12, 2025 12:16 PM (gWBY1) 286

Birchers “at least” loved America?
That implies there was something wrong with the Birchere, and Buckley was correct in denying them legitimacy or whatever. What was wrong with the Birchers? The only fault I could find was they did have a problem with flouridating the municipal water supplies. Their general theme that the US “Lost China” and Korea, and the countries behind the Iron Curtain, and Yugoslavia and Cuba and Viet Nam .. etc. The State Department was riddled with communists, and set the stage for millions of deaths. Like Sen. McCarthy, most people only know of the Birchers through the leftist or marxist media lens. “Red Scare” and “Witch Hunt” and “Hysteria” will be in there somewhere.

Try as I might, I have yet to understand what value health insurance companies bring to the table.
Posted by: MAGA_Ken ==== Because catastrophic health problems can arise that could and did bankrupt people. The problem became though, because of a weird quirk in labor pay rates being controlled circa 1940's during WWII, Kaiser Shipbuilding could recruit workers by offering freehealth care and the OPM (Office of Price and Management) ruled that this was not an increase in wages. So other corporations did it too. Since health care was not ruled as compensation, then we got health insurance for routine care instead of catastrophic coverage. That meant eventually over time, due to size effects, insurance companies got reductions in what they paid providers versus those that paid cash. And from there, the system metastasized. Medicare boosted the effects when it came online because large insurance companies adopted Medicare coverage rules and based their charges on Medicare rates (medicare and medicaid created a price floor in essence). System still worked decently until Obama, you didn't earn that, decided to use big insurance to give coverage to those in the gaps on coverage.

Posted by: Common Tater ====== CIA did not like them as they affronted modern liberal progressive attitudes so they used Buckley to take them down. Tailgunner Joe was taken down in part for the same reason. No elite class members really wanted inquiry into their sordid personal lives and tangled finances/loyalties going back to school days.

When those mortgage rates go down there will be a big turn around. Home builders/developers will kick in, they will buy in bulk and the price per sq ft should go down and less sq ft in starter home combined with lower monthly payments will make them more accessable to first time buyers.
The surge in homebuilding will be a boon to employment overall. All the various materials that go into building will increase need and productivity there. And all the crafts, skills, and trades that go into building a home and in producing and delivering the necessary goods. This development will resonate incrementally upward. A new neighborhood needs new stores, etc., etc. This is what Powell understands and why his hate Trump is so adamant againt lowering rates. Lowering rates is not printing more money. Lowering rates is creating places for money to go. Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at December 12, 2025 12:31 PM (lQBYU) 296
trouble is we're inundated with legal H1B immigrants ... and that seems to only be increasing ...
Posted by: BlackOrchid Stats say no. Part of teh issue is that the bloated numbers above the statutory cap admitted by Biden junta are good for three years and renewable for another 3. New restrictions kicked in requiring 100k fee per job plus other restrictions such as a minimum salary of $65k starting Sept. 21, 2025. Stats are here for the last several years. Link goes to an H1B firm. https://tinyurl.com/mk5dttah Biden's junta spiked admissions to 188400 for FY 25 versus the 125 k total granted (this includes spouses) for FY 26.

Imagine this continues - 2.5 million per year, 4 years. That is 10 million. A solid start. Get Vance or Rubio to continue another 8 years - problem solved.
And, thing is, this could accelerate. As ICE visits more sanctuary cites. This problem is going to start solving itself very quickly. As we have fewer illegals, law enforcement can focus more and more resources on what's left. As secure border means less ICE at the border, and more to patrol and deport. Imagine your choice - sell you shit, take you money, and leave, in an orderly manner, or get arrested and deported, and maybe losing everything you have. And not being able to find a job or get benefits. AND the feds will pay for your plane ticket. That plane ride starts looking awful good.

I like the curve of the underside of the stairs. In old homes like this (like 17th-18th century, they would plaster the underside of the stairs. Always struck me as odd, but I guess it's a way to keep from having to oil/varnish the underside of the stairs.

[Do not click to embiggen]
Is this great art? No, but it is competently executed, the artist has obvious skill, and there is no obvious political bent to the work. And the scene is sufficiently complex that it suggests questions. What is going on? Who is the woman ascending the stairs? Why didn't John Moses Browning design a .50ACP?

There is a formula for stair tread, riser, and length of run that allows you to build even a steep stair that has a natural feel to it. And there is another system for making a spiral-step landing. I made one once for a tricky alcove, then altered the room and did away with it and kind of miss it, it being all artsy-craftsy and all.
It almost goes without saying that you can also deliberately get that formula wrong, and Hitchcock all and sundry to their deaths. Posted by: Way, Way Downriver at December 12, 2025 10:11 AM (zdLoL) 171

So, now I have a dilemma. Do I 1) just toss the matching sock back in the dirty clothes bin with the dirty one, and suck up being one pair short all week? Or, 2) do I just wear the dirty one with its clean mate sometime this week, so I now have a dirty pair to wash next time?
It is well to choose, early in life, a single type and color of sock. Do not deviate from the path, grasshopper.

Remember:
Your average Republican didn't run for office because they were successful in private life. They started life with a 99 yard head start in 100 yard dash, tripped over their feet, but found success in a single election. I mean, not one Republican of the last 50 years had even half the fights Trump went through. They're a bunch of faggoty ballet dancers prancing around the octagon confused at why the crowd isn't cheering for them. "But I've rolled up my sleeves! I'm shadow punching the air!

Wow, you do pay attention. Yup - haven't played in a month or so. Knee was in bad shape. But I'm on some good meds that took care of the swelling and inflammation. Probably back on the court this weekend to see how it goes.
Posted by: Doof ======= FWIW, Warning, if you take steroid shots to the knee for pain, it can soften the cartilage for a time making it more likely to tear. Also avoid K-flex, Levaquin, and other Fluoroquinolones as they can have the same effect of softening cartilege. Levaquin is now black labeled by the FDA because of it. Botched ACL surgery with the initial tear possibly caused by Levaquin administration for sinus infection is what started me on my road to ruin. Hyaluronic acid shots can also have separate side effects. Posted by: whig at December 12, 2025 11:03 AM (WDjG6) 274

Buuuuut, almost all of the critics, straight up hate it, which makes me wonder if he somehow violated some libtardian principle and that set their hair on fire.

Posted by: ShainS ------- Because of existing prescription meds, I am very careful about which supplements I take or even additional drugs which I keep to a minimum. Too many chances for interactions that simply are not even researched. Basically, the psoriatic arthritis led to a condition of Ankylosing spondylitis which is in the process of fusing my spine. I take the Rinvoq as much to slow and stave out that as I do for the psoriatic arthritis. Before Rinvoq, I took Humira and then Cosentyx which are recommended for it. The longer you have inflammatory arthritis, the more damage it does but you can and do go into remission at times. Over time, the inflammatory arthritis will pick and choose which other organs it will attack. In my case, the spine and inside one of my ears for whatever reason; in others, it will attack the heart, or other internal organs. Posted by: whig at December 12, 2025 11:11 AM (WDjG6) 278

Posted by: naturalfake ====== In his best films, I would agree with you. Brooks is the type that makes lemonade out of lemons in his movies which are never big on action or even much drama but are essentially snapshots into other people's lives. Even in his lesser films, his characters seem more real but flat to some because you don't get the big emotional highs or lows but instead witty urbanites muddling through. Like Defending Your Life for example. Brooks is neither a great hero nor is he a despicable villain. He just seems average as does Meryl Streep and his trial which in other hands would seem to be dramatic, instead his character is more peevish and neurotic than dramatic. Rip Torn is the liveliest actor in that movie. Posted by: whig at December 12, 2025 11:19 AM (WDjG6) 279

Posted by: Pooklord at December 12, 2025 05:25 PM (asU3w) The Morning Report — 12/12/25![]() In the 1990s, Captain Michael Cronin, a Navy pilot who had been captured and tortured in Vietnam, began to lobby for a bill that would hold his Vietnamese torturers accountable. The ‘War Crimes Act’ was passed and Cronin died in 2020 without his torturers facing justice. The bill, originally sold as a way to hold torturers of Americans accountable, did nothing to stop abuses of American prisoners, either by Communist or Islamist foes. Its criminalization of Geneva Conviction violations was never going to matter to our enemies, instead it became a weapon used by them, and their radical allies in the United States, against our troops. Republican House and Senate majorities allowed the ‘War Crimes Act’ to sail through even though it had been loaded with the biggest poison pill of all, applying its provisions to American soldiers, and President Bill Clinton, a former anti-war protester, gleefully signed it into law. The ‘War Crimes Act of 1996’ was the fever dream wishlist of every anti-Vietnam War protester, threatening to prosecute American soldiers for international law violations, and would probably never have become law if it hadn’t been smuggled through using a Vietnam War POW as an unwitting human shield. Once the bill had been passed, it was weaponized against Americans.In a not necessarily unrelated story from a few weeks ago, Zohran Mamdani the mayor-elect of NYC announced his intention to arrest Bibi Netanyahu and hand him over to the International Criminal Court for the unspeakable crime of defending Jews from Islamic genocide. Mamdani's election is I fear not merely a one-off but given the embrace of socialism by the younger generations of voters and sadly older ones as well, and the vicissitudes of American electoral politics, sadly one day we will once again have a Democrat in the White House, will he/she/It be merely a typical liberal schmuck or a full-on Maoist like Mamdani and his ilk?! Regardless, America as founded, what remains of it and what had been restored and please God is yet to be restored by the second half of Trump 2.0 and perhaps two terms of a President Vance, will once again be ripped apart by the next incarnation of Obama on radioactive steroids. I predict that if/when (ugh!) that nightmare becomes a reality, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth and perhaps most of the flag officer corps involved in the sinking of the Venezuelan drug boats as well as the bombing of Iran will be charged with war crimes. Given the nature of the lawsuits and shampeachments that Trump has gone through, as well as the persecution via prosecution of the J-6 protesters, you can guess the rest. And with that, will be the final nail in the coffin of the United States armed forces. It will be transmogrified into something akin to the Red Guards or Iran's IRGC. Not to worry, we'll always have the GOP: The Indiana State Senate rejected a plan to redraw the Hoosier State’s congressional map before the 2026 midterm elections. President Donald J. Trump and Governor Mike Braun (R-IN) pushed Republican lawmakers in the legislature to back the plan, but Republican defections scuttled the bill that would have redrawn the map on Thursday.Under the failed proposal, the congressional districts for Representatives Frank Mrvan (D-IN) and Andre Carson (D-IN) would have essentially been eliminated and replaced with two Republican-leaning seats, making the entire state’s delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives a Republican one. Currently, Republicans hold seven of the state’s nine U.S. House seats.The setback in Indiana follows a recent Supreme Court decision allowing Texas to use its newly redrawn map, which creates five additional GOP-favorable districts. Indiana had become a focal point in Trump’s nationwide effort to reshape congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterms, a strategy aimed at maintaining the narrow Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.GOP = GRIFTING OLEAGENOUS PARASITES And, I must admit that when I saw this story, Charlie Kirk's Alleged Assassin Smirks During First In-Person Hearing the first image that popped into my head was Jack Ruby getting up close and personal with L.H. Oswald. Oh well. And now to some innocent teenage hijinx! I suppose their team is particularly adept at "The Blitz!"

I'm awake, but they just gave me a Tylenol and an oxycodone, so I may not be conscious too much longer 🤣🤣🤣 Will be seeing the surgical resident first, then Dr. Yopp will be by to see me around 8 or 9.
Apparently my liver is still intact, but I will be going home with an HAI pump. I will have to come up with a fun name for him - maybe call him "Fred". The medicine they will be putting in the pump is called FUDR - you KNOW we are going to be having fun with that acronym.... And now we get to start playing whack-a-mole with all of these pesky little tumors that didn't show up on the CT Scan or the MRI (we were told that it is not uncommon to find that once they go in). The good news is that the pump is even MORE targeted than anything I have had before, and they can use much more medication without the worry of killing "healthy" tissue in the process. I think the oxycodone may be kicking in now - see you guys on the other side...

> The World Must Stop Ignoring What Iranians Already Know: The Regime Is on the Brink
Isn't it pretty to think so.... ... Not really. Trump's policy is "bring down the ayatollahs, install a stable regime of some type, profit." That's a dandy plan, on the face of it. But America's policy in general is to prop up Iran as a counterbalance to Israel and Saudia Arabia, and keep the Middle East permanently unstable. Our government don't want anyone "winning" over there. Trump will only be around for a few years, max. If he succeeds in toppling the ayatollahs, the IC will install some unstable gang of psychotic Muslims to replace them at the nearest opportunity and restore the status quo ante, and whoever it is will be as bad or worse than these whacko ragheads. It's probably not even possible for Iran to have any kind of nonpsychotic government at this point, but as long as our foreign services perceive a belligerent Iran as desirable, it's definitely not.

Not necessarily- the Saudis could easily make up the shortfall by turning a few valves. That, which people tend to forget, is one of the most important reasons to maintain very good relations with MBS.

Amherst College was founded over two centuries ago to prepare young Christian men for the ministry. Today, however, the prestigious college has become a hotbed of administratively sanctioned sex performances and "sexual skills" programs, with a focus on "queer" and transgender students and on free-sex practices such as polyamory. The graphic nature of school-sanctioned sex events has made many current Amherst students deeply uncomfortable, according to students who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.

so, this is from 2024, but it's been making the rounds, since the new legislation against Muslim bros. is stalled. right after the likes of Carlson , and some administration figures visited Qatar: "The oil-rich Gulf state of Qatar hired a former CIA agent’s company to discredit Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., and other lawmakers who oppose Hamas and its parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
The documents reveal that the alleged Qatar state-funded espionage campaign targeted Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, because he had sought to have the Muslim Brotherhood designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. The clandestine document, titled “Project ENDGAME” and drafted by U.S. company Global Risk Advisors (GRA), which was founded by the ex-CIA employee Kevin Chalker, reads, “High Alert: An attack on Hamas is an attack on Qatar. An attack on the Muslim Brotherhood is an attack on Qatar.” I would like to remind you that one Qatar operative, Tucker Carlson, is also very vicious against Cruz.

Keep meaning to get around to it, but hasn't happened yet. Posted by: SpeakingOf at December 12, 2025 *** I first saw it in 1979, in August yet, at an SF convention. (Let's face it, it *is* a fantasy film.) I'd never heard of it and had no idea what to expect. The entire "alternate Bedford Falls" sequence is really disturbing the first time you see it. And that effect doesn't really wear off. I suppose the reason it was not a big success when first released was that audiences were not in tune with fantasy films. There had not been many by then, Wizard of Oz and a few others, and the big boom in SF monster movies and the A-picture Forbidden Planet were far in the future.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at December 12, 2025 08:59 AM (wzUl9) ==== I talk about it in the video, but I think it was a business miscalculation, Capra trying to go independent in 1946 when the Paramount Accords hadn't been written yet and the vertical integration of studios with theaters (along with the practice of block booking for indy theaters) was the norm. An expensive indie film would have real trouble breaking through and playing for weeks in that environment. If MGM had distributed it, I think it would have been a huge success. Capra just tried to go indie 10 years too early. Posted by: TJM's phone at December 12, 2025 09:03 AM (jyqhl) 257

I figure Bondi's a politician first, AG second. It's why she's "liked" by the establishment. If she'd even do the minimal and give lip service to hauling in all the people who have been fingered as players in the Russia hoax, the Antifa horseshit and so on, she'd at least give the appearance of "doing something." And then blame underlings for not following through.
That right there is what a competent politico would do. But... she's not even doing the bare minimum. Posted by: Martini Farmer at December 12, 2025 09:08 AM (NwnyJ) 271
I try to give people like Bondi the chance to prove themselves. Her actions in the Trayvon case were questionable , but other things she did pre DoJ were solid. However it seems that the massive corruption in the DoJ are beyond her abilities to get rid of. Now there may be things behind the scenes that are occurring that we don't know about but the public face ain't good

George doesn’t really believe Clarence is an angel but asks him if he wouldn’t happen to have 8000 bucks… then says oh yeah right they don’t need money in heaven. Then exclaims: Well it comes in pretty handy down here, Bub!

Posted by: XTC at December 12, 2025 09:05 AM (UnA8+) It's not about the person at the top. The AG doesn't, personally, do much of anything. They give orders and direction. It's up to the myriad lower layers to actually do the work. The myriad lower layers of the single most corrupt agency in the federal government. Working hand-in-hand with corrupt elements of the judiciary to stop reform from happening. Ask Alina Habba. But, sure, it's just that Bondi isn't tough enough.

After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it.

Bill Barr part two is the absolute best he can hope for. Well, keep Blondi but create a czar that will monitor, control and direct the actions of the DOJ. Basically, Blondi is an incompetent buffoon who needs to be shitcanned but as you alluded, her replacement would probably just a shitty as her.

Trump's got a number of women in his cabinet. All of them except Bondi have records of achievement.
Gabbard and Noem stand out. Both in arguably difficult positions. Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education has been successful in downsizing the department under her purview and stripped a lot of the woke out of it. His press secretary is pretty good too. But, yea... let's blame the corruption in DoJ and not the AG who's supposed to get that shit under control. Put her on a PIP (personal improvement plan) and if she's failing that... ax her.

Scott Bessent says most Americans with W2 income, which is most people, will receive tax refunds in early next year of between $1000 and $2000, because the big beautiful bill lowered required withholding in line with lower taxes on working incomes, but most people haven't yet changed their withholding rates.

For the guys (and gals) trying to build out a decent PC this Christmas without paying over $2000 just to start, JayzTwoCents has an interesting Shopping-Online Build that makes some sense.
"Is this the solution to the DDR5 Crisis?" https://youtu.be/vwJZztIrQO8 He surfed and found deals on an Intel 12900K (MicroCenter CPU bundle with a motherboard), 32GB DDR4, Gen4 1TB SSD, 1000W PSU, and a RX 9070XT, and got the cost to around $1600 for a pretty decent gaming PC at a reasonable cost. It's not a bad way to start a PC build the way things are with DDR5 pricing driving up the costs on an AM5 platform build. You could also substitute some AMD 5000 series processors on a AM4 motherboard if you're not an Intel fan. Jay went with Intel because he believes they had a better product that generation. You could also go with an Intel 13th or 14th Gen CPU and still use DDR4. Posted by: SpeakingOf at December 12, 2025 04:57 AM (6ydKt) 31

On the local Fox outlet, stories about the new "Catahoula Crunch," the crackdown by ICE, abound. Employers are worrying about their employees who are on work permits. Well, geniuses, if you'd hired Americans to start with, you wouldn't have anything to worry about, now would you?
I wonder if faculty, and especially staff, at universities are being checked on and sometimes rounded up. My former department was determined to be "diverse," and they continually hired foreign Ph.D.s who always required all sorts of visa paperwork and huge payments to the Feds. I muttered under my breath, "You wouldn't have this problem if you hired an American Ph.D.," but I knew no one would listen to me. I got in trouble one time because Facilities sent three workers to repair my boss's office ceiling who did not speak any English -- not the usual crowd. I asked their office politely if they could send someone who did, so we could communicate. Some Karen over there complained -- not to me, but behind my back to my boss. He was forced to warn me about "such comments." Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at December 12, 2025 05:48 AM (wzUl9) 63

We'll have mid-70s as highs today and tomorrow -- ugly for December -- a chill Sunday through Wed., then back up to the 70s again by Thursday.
I'd better check and air up the tires on the Buick ahead of the cooldown on Sunday, so they will still be at a proper fill when the temp drops. Soon, too, I need to buy the oil and filter for the next six months. I hate to waste oil -- the little meter in the instrument panel says there is still 40% oil life left after six months, and it is synthetic oil. It can go longer. But I also hate to go beyond six months on any fill. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at December 12, 2025 05:57 AM (wzUl9) 69

Posted by: no one at December 12, 2025 *** It's an easy marker for me to remember. And usually at six months the oil life is down to 20-25% with the driving I do here. It's higher than usual this time because of my 2000-mile trip to Indiana in Sept. I'm using Walmart's own Supertech brand, so I'm not throwing too much money away. If I were running Mobil 1 or Castrol synthetic, I'd need to go longer. But an eight-month or nine-mont interval is harder for me to remember.

According to Mimetic Theory, people are only as good as their culture. If your culture is fine with wholesale corruption and rape, then if you are corrupt and rape strangers at knife point, then you are not "bad" - as long as you make justifications for your actions according to your culture. That is probably why the Globalists want to destroy the WASP ethics and moral structure by flooding the West with alien cultures that often are fully incompatible with the predominant culture.

Well, that was cool. An almost perfect pass of the ISS overhead here starting at 6:34 AM and lasting about 7 mins. It popped up over the horizon to the SW, and arced pretty high overhead setting to the NE. It was quite bright, sun to the east right at the beginning of nautical twilight here. And to top of it, saw a meteor as well while watching the sky. And as I type this, the thing is already close to Britain by now. When it first popped up over the horizon, it was just over the Gulf of America. It was just about perfect alignment for viewing here.

You are so fortunate to see that. A number of years ago, right at the time of maximum satellite flare in the morning, I witnessed the ISS separating from the space shuttle overhead. I was expecting it so was out there looking for it and was not disappointed. It was kind of sad that there were also a number of people walking their dogs or just walking / running and not a one stopped to look overhead even when they saw me standing there staring up into space.

I got the "Spot the station" app for the stupid phone. They used to have a website for that, but it's defunct, app only now. It's the best for accurate predictions, as they update the orbital elements all the time. Stellarium is generally pretty good, but the orbital elements sometimes won't update fast enough, especially after boosts and other maneuvers they do from time to time. I was able to see a good pass a few weeks ago on the evening side. There, it passed into earth's shadow a little bit before halfway through the arc overhead. Unlike small satellites which wink out quickly, the ISS is big and reflective enough that it did a slow fade, turning red (red sunlight through the atmosphere, just like a sunset on the ground) before winking out. That was pretty cool. BUt I see the morning side is the best when the alignment and terminator are just right. You can see the whole pass with the thing lit up the whole time.

There's a couple things that occur to me in any kind of approach to all the faith/works/grace/etc armchair theology stuff.
1) You Don't Matter. You're not the center of the universe. Your particular salvation or damnation makes no difference to the workings of the rest of the cosmos. 2) You Are Not In Charge. Any thoughts our little neurons squirt out has no bearing on what is or what must be. It can be a fun exercise to think about stuff and see what we can figure out, but the stakes are Zero. We don't have any say in how any of it goes down, only in how we choose to live our lives before it does. 3) None of it matters if you don't have a solid prayer life and actually talk with the one who is in charge of the process. And if you *do* have that, then none of it matters because you'll already have your feet pretty firmly on the right path to do your job as a soul in a meat suit properly without fretting about the rules other people must follow.

And now we get to start playing whack-a-mole with all of these pesky little tumors that didn't show up on the CT Scan or the MRI (we were told that it is not uncommon to find that once they go in).
The good news is that the pump is even MORE targeted than anything I have had before, and they can use much more medication without the worry of killing "healthy" tissue in the process. I think the oxycodone may be kicking in now - see you guys on the other side...

Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake.

If Reddit gets off the under-16 list it's going to have a heap of other problems with its adult content coming under scrutiny.
In my experience (2nd account after I was foolish enough to link my socials to the 1st, never again) Reddit cannot survive without the adult sites propping it up.

Also named the “Underground Great Wall” for its vastness and military purpose, the tunnel complex was dug by hand by local citizens throughout the 1970s to serve as a shelter during invasions, air raids, or nuclear attacks. At the height of its readiness, there were more than 90 entrances to the underground corridors which were hidden in the backs of homes and businesses. Civilians seeking shelter from Soviet bombardments in the underground complex would have been safe from boredom as well as bombs. Classrooms were constructed for the children living in the underground city, and recreational amenities like a movie theater, barber shops, restaurants, and a roller skating rink were all awaiting a potential flood of refugees. Chambers in auxiliary tunnels held grain, weapons, and other supplies. The underground city also held sites for growing sunless crops like mushrooms and areas prepared for well drilling.Pendleton, OR. Way back days Pendleton boasted a lot of bars, 18 brothels, and what is now an underground (sounds Moron worthy).

Evening, all.
Miss Linda came over, I fed her (two eggs, some toast and butter). She spent an hour or two curled around her phone, nothing new there, and announced at eight that she needed to go home. I exhorted her to take some meds for her cold and to be sure to eat something tomorrow morning. She hates taking even small pills, has an almost indetectable pulse, can't tell me what kind of pain she has when she complains of one, and refuses to eat when she is sick. If I were a doctor and had a bunch of patients as difficult to deal with, I'd be thinking about changing careers.

A huge underground complex for continuity of government was secretly (kinda) built under the Greenbrier in Virginia. Some of the contractors at the time realized something was up due to insane quantities of concrete and re-bar being ordered, far in excess than would be required for remodeling or renovation.
It has a huge blastproof reinforced vault like door, underground house chambers, cafeteria, medical facilities, sleeping quarters, the whole nine yards for congress to continue operating. What was strange was some clown reporter for a magazine revealed the existence of the facility, and that was the end of it, gazillions of dollars wasted. They should have sent that fucker to prison for 80 years just on general principles. Posted by: Common Tater at December 11, 2025 10:15 PM (OtFdX) 40

Things that go Bump in the Night - or in this case the garage. We have a 2 car detached garage. Workbench, tools, yard equipment, wife’s car stay there. We were in it last weekend while doing yard work, wife hadn’t had to go anywhere so neither of us has gone in for 2 or 3 days.
So I went in tonight, and everything is in order, except …. One of the brooms is on the other side of the garage, not like it fell but like it was tossed. But everything else is in order, nothing else was touched. So I’m not gonna spend a lot of time thinking about it, except once in a while to wonder what possessed a broom to fly from one side of the garage to the other in the middle of the night.

Wilhelm Friedrich Füchtner (1844-1923), hailing from the quaint town of Seiffen in the Ore Mountains of Germany, is known worldwide as the “Father of the Nutcracker.”
_______________________________ This guy has contributed more to society than most of us. But, at a price. While the rest of us will meet St. Peter at the Gate and spend a few anxious seconds while the good Saint checks his notes, Wilhelm is going get pulled aside for a cavity search and the whole TSA treatment unless he brings references explaining that, no...Nutcracker isn't some niche sexual device for masochists.

Posted by: runner Pi just kills me - an old math professor turned me on to this: π is believed to be a normal number ( π is strongly suspected to be one, though not yet proven). If a number is normal in base 10, then every finite sequence of digits appears with exactly the expected frequency. Even without full normality being proven for π, it has passed every statistical test for normality to millions of digits, so for all practical purposes any finite string you can imagine is essentially guaranteed to appear somewhere in π if you go far enough. The key mathematical concept is normality of a number (specifically "normal in base 10"). A slightly weaker but still relevant property that π is known to have is that it is disjunctive (every finite sequence appears at least once), which is true for almost all real numbers in the sense of Lebesgue measure. Your phone number, your birthday, the entire text of Hamlet encoded as digits… all of it is hiding in π if you look far enough out. *Takes bong hit* Dude . . . . .

Christmas traditions: I remember going to Mr. C’s in North Omaha on Christmas Eve, a unique restaurant that was garishly decorated and kept growing until it seemed like it would take over the city, then going home and opening one present. Then my sister always waking me up at 6 AM Christmas morning. Also hearing Santa’s sleigh bells at midnight at my grandparents’ farm, which sounded a lot like the old sleigh bells my grandfather kept in the basement.

You can do the whole thing with Pain Of Salvation's "Remedy Lane" album.
Posted by: mikeski The songs aren't in chronological order for the story, so I don't know if it's "a concept album." But some lyrical and musical themes show up in multiple songs. Undertow's lyrics are basically "if you love something, set it free." First verse: Let me go, let me go, let me seek the answers that I need to know. Let me find a way, let me walk away, through the undertow. Please let me go..... But it uses the melody from the bridge of "This Heart Of Mine (I Pledge)" for its guitar solo. The lyrics from that part are: I believe this heart of mine when it tells my eyes, that this is beauty I believe this heart of mine when it tells my mind, that this is reason I believe this heart of mine when it cries at time, that this is forever I believe this heart of mine when it tells the skies, that this is the face of God Posted by: mikeski geeks out about music at December 11, 2025 10:59 PM (nhCoE) Posted by: Chrome, Trailer Ball Hitch at December 11, 2025 10:59 PM (OtFdX) 170

Christmas Eve when I was a kid was exciting, full of suspense and anticipation. We'd have the tree lit, of course, and there would always be Christmas-themed episodes of our favorite shows on TV. Mom would hustle us off to bed as early as she could, of course. Equally naturally, I'd be awake early.
Later, in college, I'd sit up drinking with Mom if I didn't go out with friends. The last thing I wanted to do was get up early on The Day. Mrs. Wolfus No. 2's extended maternal family had a tradition of gathering in one relative's house on Xmas Eve. Fortunately they all lived pretty close to each other. "I won't inflict my family on you except at Christmas and Easter," she said, and (for once) was as good as her word. I didn't know any of the people and they didn't wear name tags, so I was lost.

Mostly a lurker. Christmas tradition: open wrapped presents from all, but Santa, on Christmas Eve. Dad would pass gifts out in order of the 4 siblings, opened one by one, so we could all appreciate what each of us received. Parents did this to take the edge off, in hopes we would not get up so early on Christmas morning. In the morning we would make our beds, then march downstairs, in order by age, to see what Santa brought us. The toys (usually our biggest gift) would be unwrapped and ready to go/play with so we did not have to wait for the folks to get up, though it was tough to sleep in with 4 excited kids playing. We continued to open gifts on Christmas Eve, even through college, and sleep in Christmas morning.

I mentioned this a few days ago but it’s so hilarious here it is again.
On Tuesday I got a letter from the fed government and the Army. They wrote to inform me that my house and the property it’s on is a designated national superfund site. So it turns out there’s different levels of superfund from Aaagh! we must set our hair on fire spend a billion dollars and bring in the core of engineers! to “well good luck that pal”. My house is on the latter end. So turns out there was an army camp north of ATL that became an artillery and ordinance training area before WWII. (cont.)

(Cont.) That camp is part of the superfund. People find unexploded shells occasionally. But it has mostly been developed into a small municipal airport in Kennesaw GA. But that’s not where my house is. No. So one of the targets they used for training was a small mountain, hill really, in a city to the south. And that’s my house and the superfund location 2. I live on the firing solution for an over half century old Army training base. The Army provided me with a helpful pamphlet on what very boring thing to do when I find a shell and no guidance on what to bonk it real good with.

Or, 2) do I just wear the dirty one with its clean mate sometime this week, so I now have a dirty pair to wash next time? Or, 3) do I surreptitiously toss it in the garbage, pretending it got lost?

I had a good zero degree sleeping bag, but I was in an open ended pup tent and my feet stuck out the open end.

Do a search on DataRepublican's X feed for Venezuela. Under Maduro, it's become quite the hub for anti-American subversion by several bad actors. Antifa and the domestic commies.

Something that I think is a complete scam is dryer lint traps. I have never even had to clean one. [...] Or, and this is the craziest possibility, I’m really just including it for completion sake, maybe my wife was always diligently cleaning it out instead.

>>Trump is not going to start a boots-on-the-ground regime change war. He's just making Maduro an offer he can't refuse. This is the Donroe doctrine, reasserting American control of our hemisphere. Chicoms and Iran and even Rooskies have been encroaching, thanks to Biden weakness. Donnie Two Scoops is putting his foot down. Maduro is the example being made.
One of the worst parts of our current clickbait society is that most people listen to the media spin not what people say, particularly not Trump.

When the kids were little and we used to do a lot of arts and crafts around the house I had a recipe for a dryer lint modeling compound. It was lint, and wheat flour, maybe self-rising flour and some oil of some kind, clove I think. We used to make some fun stuff with that. I never had a shortage of lint.

Wolfus, if it were a better song musically, instead of a dirge, I could buy that it (the behavior) was an aberration. My impression of that relationship was more of Harrison and Clapton sharing a muse of sorts, really an it-girl model who was basically a groupie, but who had a career other than just screwing rock stars. They competed, and she bounced back and forth. And yes, he had his dreg/drug period like many of them did. It ain't his best, in any way shape or form, and the sentiment (from my point of view) is just kind of gross. If it speaks to someone positively, chacun a son gout.

It will be almost perfect, sunlit the whole time as morning is approaching, and pop up to the SW, get pretty high and set to the NE. Total of 7 minutes about the horizon, and visible the whole time.

So I was ordered, as a lurker, to comment tonight. I've been a lurker a VERY long time and mostly didn't comment because I didn't feel I had much to add to what is already a pretty active community. But the order was received, so here I am. I've probably been reading stuff here for at least 12 years (really starting with the infamous Kaboom post), and now I'm commenting.

404 If people only listened to musicians who weren't disturbed, there wouldn't be much music to choose from.
_-_ Everyone is a little wacko, but it is good to try and aim high / not drag the bottom all the time. Speaking of which, I watched that Piers Morgan interview with Nick Fuentes the other day, thinking I would learn why people hate Fuentes( had never heard from him before), but I came away thinking what a turd Morgan is and how rotten and stupid-sounding the culture he (and I to and extent) grew up in is....almost wrote a coherent sentence there.

I411 Hey there, Don in SoCo!
Did you ever solve the fuel pressure leak-down issue? I missed it, if you posted Hey, JQ! Thanks for asking. I kinda went nuts on the thing and bought a slightly larger fuel tank, new fuel pump, multiport fuel injectors, fuel filter, and a new exhaust manifold. I looked at the underside of the exhaust manifold, and found a large crack. Figured if I have to replace it,I might as well go all out and do the injectors and the fuel pump. Mostly an excuse to spend time with my oldest boy, anyway. I'm not just going to do this one for him, so, over the Christmas break... Posted by: Don in SoCo at December 12, 2025 02:18 AM (vd6bO) 415

Little help here, please.
DH called me from the ER. He was at another doc appt, trying to get his hip pain fixed. Spiked a hideously high BP. They sent him immediately to the ER. I was at the vet with itchy dogs, finding out they probably have lice. So, I drive a good 30 miles through rush hour Wasilla, to find DH at ER, who has received a nice high dose of morphine to get his hip to not torture him, and his BP is back down. Not my favorite way to spend the afternoon. I drove his ass home, and he puked twice on the way. Morphine is a bitch mistress. Anyway, he doesn't get real pain relief until next Thursday, when they inject his hip with some damned thing that supposed to block the nerve action. One day after I have shoulder surgery. Fucking hell. So, any prayers you have to offer would be lovely. Posted by: tcn in AK at December 12, 2025 02:25 AM (6Bc88) 422

So, at the ER tonight, there was a boy in a closed room who was in agony, just wailing for his mom. I think they gave him two shots of thorazine, his mind was in agony. I spent more time praying for peace for him than I did praying for DH's blood pressure to subside.

@433 Well noted JQ. There is very little chance I will ever get addicted to any of the painkiller/narcotic formulas I've ever been given. On the one hand, I feel the Lord has been good to me that way. But when you present with kidney stone pain and what they give you to unclench it makes you violently retch for hours, it has a counter-productive side. Toughens you up and teaches you a lesson, if you could just figure out what the lesson is.

Posted by: JQ at December 12, 2025 02:15 AM (rdVOm) Well, done for the night. Got two capacitors replaced, and the pair of wires that go to the output transformer, mounted on the speaker frame. I think I will gut out all the wires that went to the various batteries, and build an outboard power supply that can provided the A, B(2), and C voltages. Control that by the power switch on the panel. There is an octal socket on the rear chassis apron already there for that purpose. I need only reconfigure it. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at December 12, 2025 02:59 AM (npFr7) 443
@441 I'll venture a weak "LOL" because this year all my health news has been marginally favorable to great. But that sure takes me back to some times when it wasn't, and when discussing induced nausea "I don't want to talk about it" is a pretty good policy.
As it was doc-splained to me, phenergan is a synthesized form of some element from South American tree bark, bringing up images of deathly sick jungle tribesmen stripping the bark off every tree they run into -- and the pusher, a guy on the corner in a Panama hat and trenchcoat going "Yo, kid -- wanna quit pukin'?"

PARDON! Trump has pardoned Tina Peters. The pardon will likely be challenged by Democrats sending the issue to the Supreme Court.
I don't know offhand who Tina Peters is and I don't care enough to bingle her but I'm pretty sure the President's pardon power is not subject to judicial review. Or at least Hunter and Fauci better hope not. Posted by: Oddbob at December 11, 2025 07:53 PM (3nLb4) Posted by: SpeakingOf at December 11, 2025 07:53 PM (6ydKt) 44

I think Tina Peters was an election official in Colorado who made a copy of some data on a voting machine because she suspected fraud from the Soros SOS and was prosecuted for election tampering or some such BS. She didn't do any tampering, just made a copy of the data is what I read about the case.

Posted by: NCK it is very rare to find any pitbulls, nearly everything is a "pit mix" and if you read the studies about those you see that there's no meaningful standard for determining what is a pit and what is not, it is usually done by visual identification and the standards vary from region to region across country. find something you have a good report with and youre food to go Posted by: n at December 11, 2025 08:22 PM (7neCS) 93

Posted by: Oldcat Not all animals can taste the same things. Obligate carnivores like cats don't need receptors for plant-based toxins like capsaicin, so maybe they don't have them?

>>The reality is almost every last mutt in the shelter is going to have pit in them.
The real reality is pit bull is not a real breed. It's a name for dogs with a mix of terrier breeds. Terriers tend to be aggressive. It's their nature. Different breeds do have different characteristics just like horses and other animals. Doesn't mean they can't be raised to be good pets but no, all breeds are not the same.

I love my boys, even my big black cat who is yelling at me in my ear for a bite of chicken right now. He is 12. I can’t believe it.
Posted by: Piper at December 11, 2025 08:36 PM (OoFl2) My cats are indoor-outdoor cats, and they made it pretty old. I think the two oldest ladies are 17, and the old toms were 15 - one had a cancer and one got et and he was always a bit sickly. I think it is a mix of wet and dry food that is best, and control the fleas and parasites. Cats don't like bitterness, and sometimes tap water can be bitter to them. That can keep them from drinking enough water, so I put a pinch of salt in the water bowl to take away some of the bitterness for them. Cats are prey to kidney problems so the extra water is best for them. Posted by: Kindltot at December 11, 2025 08:48 PM (rbvCR) 153

Evening, Cafe habitues,
Watching the first broadcast Trek episode, "The Man Trap." It struck me anew how hushed Shatner's delivery is as he narrates the captain's log, as if he is trying not to intrude on the story or trying not to be overheard. It made me try to remember some other TV show or movie where I'd noted the same thing. It took me half an hour to recall: the narration by Joe, William Holden, for Sunset Boulevard. It's almost as if Joe does not want to be overheard -- or is talking on the phone with someone and is keeping his voice down to as not to disturb someone else. The technique is appropriate in both properties. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at December 11, 2025 08:49 PM (wzUl9) 158

He is contacted by lots of private rescue organizations who don’t have room or resources and he will drive wherever to get them and match to his list of prospective adopters or bring them to legit breed rescue orgs or fosters who do have room. He also has a Shiba sanctuary for those with bite histories, etc. people really do not understand how difficult Shibas are, they get them because they are cute. Anyway, that is another conversation. The things he goes through with actual shelters is incredibly frustrating. The stories are maddening.

He will not defy a court order. He scrupulously follows them, no matter how unlawful or asinine, and he leaves it to the other judges to untangle this bullshit the the left has spun for itself. Trump's brain trust knows that this is twisting Roberts' guts because it is destroying the legitimacy of the courts. There is no precedent, no reason behind these rulings, just naked assertions of power, and as much as these judges are slapped down, they do it again. And so Trump lets the guy go, and then will arrest him because HE'S HERE ILLEGALLY, and they can't get past that. They just keep saying "MOAR PROCESS," so he gives it to them.

Older dogs need love too.
Posted by: Mark Andrew *** At the SpayMart location yesterday, they had a sign up advertising their "Match a Senior Cat to a Senior" program. You have to be 68 or older, and the cat will be 7 or more. They match you up, give you 14 days of food and supplies, and provide some initial vet care as well as giving the animal vaccinations in advance. And they will take the cat back if it proves you can't care for him. Since a 7-year-old cat is only about 35-40 in human terms, it's a bit of a mismatch in the name, but the idea is that an older cat will be more settled and easier for an older human to handle.

Mrs. Wrecks' friend was struck and killed at night as a pedestrian by a car. It was at a fairly busy intersection near our house with a flashing red light and four way stop but poor lighting and no sidewalk. As is standard journalistic practice of today, the story was extremely poorly written and we couldn't tell what was going on.
Mrs. Wrecks had a dream that it was she who was driving the car and became obsessed with that thought. She searched her car and noticed a few tiny dents and a spot of what might have been blood. She was trying to establish an alibi but neither she nor I can remember where she was at the time. I tried my best to talk her down since her guilt is based upon absolutely nothing but had little success. Finally, tonight, six days later, the paper admits the driver stayed at the scene and has been identified. So Mrs. Wrecks is off the hook. Hopefully, life can return to normal or, at least, no more weird than usual. Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Now With Pumpkin Spice! at December 11, 2025 09:49 PM (L/fGl) 353

>> Conversely, we have been propagating radio signals for 125 years so any intelligent life form within 125ly knows we’re here.
That's a common misconception. It ignores inverse square behavior and signal to noise and all that, vs omnidirectional vs our signals that are more "beamed" and so forth. Our general radio/TV and communications stuff would be detectable only about 5 - 20 ly away. The high end would require an Arecibo size disk and the best detection we have now. Very high power, highly beamed stuff that got blasted off the planet from military radars and stuff would be detectable maybe 50 ly away, but the aliens would have to be right in the angular line of sight. They've done planetary radar studies, using Arecibo at high power for instance. Very tight beams, high power. Those might get out a few thousand ly, but again, narrow line of sight.

In a text message from that year, Epstein said Ruemmler helped him craft a public-relations statement in response to a forthcoming Washington Post editorial calling for Congress to investigate him. At 4 a.m. on March 7, 2019, Epstein texted a draft statement to a contact redacted by House investigators, calling it a "Ruemmler proposal" and writing, "this is what Kathy suggests we tell Waco," correcting the typo seconds later to "Wapo." The statement -- which Epstein said Ruemmler provided -- rejected claims he received a "sweetheart deal" in his 2008 conviction and argued prosecutors had pursued him too aggressively. "The criticism is wrong and reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of both [the] facts underlying Mr. Epstein's case and how it was prosecuted by both local and federal authorities. Far from a receiving a sweetheart deal, Mr. Epstein was subjected to a lengthy, aggressive, and highly unusual federal investigation for what were, in essence, local offenses of sexual solicitation. He accepted responsibility, served time and prison, and paid significant monetary settlements to the victims involved," said the statement.While Jeffrey Epstein's other "friends" have paid a price, this Democrat woman -- no privilege here! -- continues working for Goldman Sachs. Obviously no lawyer is actually worth $22.5 million per year. She's being paid for political influence. She's a fixer. She knows what officials to call when you need a favor or you're in a jam. That's why she was "friends" with Jeffrey Epstein. And I do not believe that her "friendship" was uncompensated. I think, based on this revelation, that The Walls Are Really Closing In on Trump now.

"But Ruemmler has managed to fly under the radar despite working as the top lawyer for one of the world's largest banks, where she made $22.5 million last year. "
$22.5 a year plus all sorts of off the books compensation for being a lawyer/fixer? That is a bit excessive IMO. Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at December 11, 2025 06:46 PM (0N4FZ) 4

Well, oopsie, Kathryn! You may "regret" knowing Epstein, but you did. Apparently quite well.
There is NO history of marriage or children, or if she's a lesbo (Hillary liked her, so possible). One goofy AI source said she was married to Bob Bauer, which is apparently bullsharte. She's 71yrs old, not hideous looking in the way of Rosa, so you'd THINK there would be a history of something other than her vast legal career (I like to say vast whenever Hag Hil is on my mind). Did she get her kicks on Route 66? She denies going to Pedo Island, but a flight took her there. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at December 11, 2025 07:07 PM (WONhk) 45

I'm shocked by Candace Owens. I truly thought she had the goods to go for in the party for our side. Thought she was incredible.
Now I loathe her. Posted by: AlaBAMA at December 11, 2025 07:12 PM (17l0u) ------------- Was listening to Dana Loesch this afternoon on the radio (we have on hour of her show here locally), and Loesch said Owens was originally a race-hustling leftist grifter a la Joy Reid who palled around with Kanye West or something. At some point, she figured she could earn more grift fooling the rubes on the right. Posted by: ShainS -- Bamboo Ruminant and GayFontoPhobe at December 11, 2025 07:18 PM (25a1J) 94
89 The Gov in Indiana, to his credit, has said he's going to burn the traitors down now, his tweet:
I am very disappointed that a small group of misguided State Senators have partnered with Democrats to reject this opportunity to protect Hoosiers with fair maps and to reject the leadership of President Trump. Ultimately, decisions like this carry political consequences. I will be working with the President to challenge these people who do not represent the best interests of Hoosiers. x.com/GovBraun/status/ 1999234066680512867 Posted by: banana Dream at December 11, 2025 07:17 PM (3uBP9 Seems a bit of CYA.

Remember about ten years ago when the black guy broke into a house in Kentucky and stabbed a 6 year old to death and was found not guilty of murder but only for assault on other family members and sentenced to only 20 years?
That was bad enough but they further spit in the face of every law abiding citizen and released him after only 9 years. He was out for only a short time before being arrested this week for violating parole . Mean while the Oklahoma pharmacist who shot an armed robber and then shot him again when he still thought he could be a danger is still serving a life sentence. And Chavin has another 15 years to serve before parole consideration and the Somali cop ,Noor who shot the unarmed white lady for no reason is free as a bird after serving only 3 years. Don't know how long this can go on. Posted by: the way I see it at December 11, 2025 07:22 PM (KDPiq) 108

Based on Sidney Powell's book, Licensed to Lie [a book she wrote prior to becoming infamous] Ruemmler, pre-Obama appt, was one of the US Attys that prosecuted the cases associated with Enron and Arthur Anderson. Powell, as one of the appellate attys for Arthur Anderson non C-Suite defendants, outlines what I consider unethical conduct of the DOJ. Ruemmler was on the team with Andrew Weissman. Their interpretation of Brady re: their duty to disclose exculpatory evidence to the defense was novel as were the crimes conjured [later reversed 9-0 by SCOTUS]. Lives destroyed, rinse, lather, repeat. 22.5 million as an annual reward. Perfect.

Russians under Nicholas were relatively happy. Russia was at a cultural apex as we are. Russia did not survive. Sophistication and easier lifestyles (more free time) provide spoils of excess that are the nutrients of decadence.

I just saw the following this afternoon: https://is.gd/k2TDJe That's about an exoplanet, TOI-270 d. It's a planet about 70-ish ly away orbiting a red dwarf. It's looking like this is what was recently dubbed a "hycean" (hydrogen + ocean) planet. Heavy H2 atmosphere, but with a liquid water ocean underneath. These could be good candidates for life. I'm thinking I may live to see something very interesting discovered. I think it's just a matter of time, really.

Posted by: Kevin Cutts at December 11, 2025 09:53 PM (xKHIr) Lowly District Judge Orders "Maryland Man" and Human Trafficker Kilmar Abrego-Garcia Released from CustodyThe judge was appointed by Obama. Weird how the media never points that out. They only note which judges were appointed by Republicans. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis issued the order, granting Abrego Garcia's petition for relief. "Since Abrego Garcia's return from wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority. For this reason, the Court will GRANT Abrego Garcia's Petition for immediate release from ICE custody," Xinis wrote. ... Federal law enforcement have floated deporting him to an alternate destination, though they have struggled to secure the judicial go-ahead. "Maryland Obama Judge Panagiota (Paula) Xinis is a lawless and dangerous radical," Article3Projecte found Mike Davis posted on X. She just illegally ordered the release of "Saint" Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an MS13 terrorist and the Democrat patron saint of wife-beating and human trafficking." Camilo Montoya-GalvezMeanwhile, the communist press is badgering Republicans about missile strikes on... "fishing boats."
President Trump revealed Wednesday afternoon that U.S. authorities intercepted a Cuba-bound oil tanker off the Venezuelan coast, a dramatic move aimed at tightening the squeeze on illicit oil networks operating throughout the region. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump described the vessel as "a very large tanker -- the largest one ever seized in action," hinting that more developments are coming. He declined to get into specifics, saying only that the operation happened "for a very good reason." When asked about the tanker's crude, Trump didn't overcomplicate it. "Well, we keep it, I guess," he said. According to a U.S. official familiar with the operation, the seizure was executed by the Coast Guard with support from the U.S. Navy after a federal judge green-lit the warrant roughly two weeks ago. Another official told the New York Times the ship -- identified as the Skipper -- had been sailing under a falsified flag and has a documented history of trafficking illicit Iranian oil. The vessel, although carrying Venezuelan crude at the time, was seized because of those Iranian smuggling ties, not because of any direct connection to Nicolás Maduro's regime. Vanguard, a UK-based maritime risk firm, confirmed Wednesday that the Skipper fits the profile of a tanker previously sanctioned by the United States for operating under the alias Adisa while moving banned Iranian oil. A source speaking to Politico said the ship was on its way to Cuba, where state-run Cubametales intended to flip the cargo to Asian brokers -- an increasingly common workaround as U.S. sanctions isolate both Havana and Caracas from traditional buyers. With most Venezuelan product now flowing to China under the sanctions regime, oil traders began recalibrating almost immediately after the news broke. Prices ticked upward modestly as markets waited to learn whether any Venezuelan crude was on board and how much would be effectively taken off the table.

DDG Search Assist:
The fuel consumption of outboard engines can vary, but a typical large outboard engine might burn around 15 to 25 gallons per hour at wide-open throttle, depending on its horsepower and efficiency. For five big outboard engines, you could estimate a total fuel burn of approximately 75 to 125 gallons per hour.

Apparently, a typical run for these go-fast boats (that's what they call them) is under 200 nm. The run to Trinidad takes up to an hour, about 50 nm path max. That's the most common run. Next up is to Aruba or Curaco, around 120 nm max, 2 hour max. Sometimes, they try a long run to the Dominican Republic, up to 600 nm, taking maybe 12 hours, but that's risky. Grok says the fuel tanks are 400-800 gallons, and they'll carry extra fuel in drums for any longer run attempts.

Crockett is widely considered to be the embodiment of leftist DEI - A low intelligence person artificially elevated into law and politics because of her minority status … I don’t believe that for a minute. She is trying to figure how the rules of the political road. She will do whatever it takes to get ahead. Posted by: SMOD ============ She has openly talked about doing what's best for "her brand." Influencers and content creators use different professions or activities for their storylines -- food, fashion, showbiz, gender identity, travel, eccentric lifestyles like tiny homes or being Japanese, sheer money, goofy families. For Crockett, it's politics. That's my take. Posted by: Nothing Will Happen at December 11, 2025 06:48 PM (1N/bM) 180

Posted by: mossomo at December 12, 2025 09:59 AM (pky95) Tom Homan: You Better Believe We're Investigating Ilhan Omar for Immigration FraudShe is here illegally. Deport her. The following has been credibly alleged and supported with evidence: Ilhan "Omar" Nur committed immigration fraud twice. The second time was when she married her own brother -- while already married to her real husband -- to get her gay brother permanent residence in the US. The first time was when she first came over. The patriarch of the Omar family had refugee status for his family. But Ilhan was not his daughter -- she is the daughter of a man named Nur, who she repeatedly called her "father" before people noticed her calling this man Nur "father" instead of her supposed father Omar. (She would later claim that it's a custom in her particular village in Somalia to call people who aren't your father "father" out of respect. No one else has ever heard of this "custom.") She pretended to be part of the Omar family when she came over. But she wasn't. She's part of the Nur family, and never had legal permission to come. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Willowed: I knew the Covid vaccine was a fake the day they told us (essential workers) to go get it. I simply asked my boss, "If I get the shot, I don't have to wear this stupid mask anymore, right?" When he told me I would have to continue masking, I knew it was all a lie.
Posted by: Darth Chipmunk at December 11, 2025 *** I knew the testing was all theater early on. At my work we were supposed to be tested at random. So I went twice. The second time they left me on my own to take my nose sample. I simply put the q-tip into the jar without probing my proboscis. Result: Negative. Not "We did not have material for a sample; please come in again." Just "negative." I stopped going, and there were never any repercussions. There was no enforcement. They just expected us to comply like good little workers. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at December 11, 2025 04:42 PM (wzUl9) 20

Also, her illegal status aside, she should be kicked out of her elected position and kicked out of the country for her behavior while in an elected government position.
Even if she somehow is a legal citizen of the USA, she surely has broken her oath taken when becoming a citizen and then again broke her oath of office in government to serve the USA.

That lie alone is enough to invalidate her citizenship. Posted by: toby928(c) ================ These are the points that everyone seems to be missing right now. The brusband is overshadowing Ilhan's false identity crime, as people seem to think she married her brother so SHE could come to the US instead of vice versa. (Trump contributed to the confusion on this.) Very few people seem to be aware as of yet that she isn't an Omar; she's a Nur. Ilhan herself is running around like a dervish fighting the brusband story and I think it's to keep people focused on that so they don't learn about that she's actually Ilhan Nur, not Ilhan Omar.

Is this the same actress who had a brief drunken walk-on at the end of the 2025 Superman film as Kara, Superman's cousin?
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at December 11, 2025 * According to what I just read it’s the same actress. I got about 20 minutes into the 2025 Superman before I stopped and meant to watch later but never did, so can’t confirm. Posted by: SpeakingOf at December 11, 2025 *** It is the same actress, Milly Alcock. The walk-on was sort of cute, but it was a gag. It's no basis for an entire superhero movie. Pass.

What happens in societies where serious crimes get exposed, expectations are ser that justice will be served, but after all the sound and fury, nothing happens? And the cycle is repeated over and over again. And half the country is perfectly fine with it because they don't believe it, it's not serious like what the other side does, or it doesn't matter how bad it is as long as their side wins. And the other side is demoralized. Very corrosive.

As for Supergirl being shown in the trailer wearing civilian clothes: I loved it when Chris Claremont and John Byrne had the X-Men wearing everyday clothes a good part of the time. In the Hellfire Club business, for instance, Scott and Jean, following up a lead, visit a dance club in a skeezy part of town wearing regular clothing. Grownup clothes, though, not this punk wannabe outfit Kara is shown wearing in this trailer.

Posted by: Donovan Nuera at December 11, 2025 09:51 PM (LKMDZ) The Atlantic Admits That the 100% Safe Covid Vaccine Killed Children (But Finds Room to Attack Vaccine Skeptics Anyway)Steve Jobs' Widow's Vanity Magazine The Atlantic takes a "pox on both their houses" position on the covid vaccines: The "health authorities" and their I-Believe-In-Science allies are criticized for denying the undeniable, that the covid vaccines did cause myocarditis and death in children, particularly young boys. But the article of course also criticizes those who correctly and honestly pointed out that the vaccine was dangerous for children, particularly young boys, because... well, because they're On the Other Side and it's very gauche of them to be right about The Science. David Strom excerpted this yesterday.On the Friday after Thanksgiving, Vinay Prasad, the FDA's top vaccine regulator, made a claim that shocked the public-health establishment. "For the first time," he wrote in a leaked email to his staff, "the US FDA will acknowledge that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children." The agency had supposedly identified at least 10 children who died from getting COVID shots. ... To say the email was poorly received by vaccine experts and physicians would be an understatement. Prasad's claim provoked a rapid series of rebuttals. A response from 12 former FDA commissioners, published in The New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday, called Prasad's memo "a threat to evidence-based vaccine policy and public health security." All of the potential vaccine-related deaths reported to the government, presumably including those to which Prasad referred, had already been reviewed by the agency's staff, the former commissioners wrote, and "different conclusions" had been reached. Elsewhere, doctors and scientists declared that absolutely no evidence links COVID-19 vaccines to death in children; and that in order to suggest otherwise, Prasad and his colleagues had engaged in an "evidence-manufacturing mission," a "dumpster dive" for shoddy data, or--worse--a campaign of lying. ...there's something troubling--and telling--in the fact that his memo has provoked people to deny even the possibility of COVID-vaccine-related deaths. The idea that mRNA-based shots have, tragically, killed a very small number of children is not far-fetched. It also doesn't imply a catastrophic threat to public health, given that tens of millions of doses of these vaccines have safely been given out to young people. From the start of the coronavirus pandemic, lack of nuance has been a problem with public-health messaging--one that anti-vaccine advocates have made use of to great effect. Now, in a moment when public health in America is under existential threat, this insistence that no evidence exists for vaccine-related deaths risks adding to the crisis.But children did not need the "vaccines," meaning that the risks of mandating it to them -- and the deaths that then occurred -- were absolutely unnecessary. No public-health authorities deny that COVID shots can have some ill effects. Adverse reactions are possible with all medical interventions. The mRNA-based vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna, in particular, are known to cause myocarditis--inflammation of the heart--on rare occasions, especially in teenage boys and young men. The form of myocarditis that occurs after vaccination is typically far less severe than the one caused by viruses; for unclear reasons, mRNA-related cases have largely disappeared in recent years. But this condition can be deadly, and considering the hundreds of millions of mRNA doses that have been administered to Americans, even extraordinarily unlikely outcomes may well be inevitable.He doesn't want to lose his Leftwing Pinhead Membership Card, so he now pivots to attacking those who correctly said that children do not need the vaccine and in fact seem to be harmed by it: Strom points out that this joker believes that RFKJr. is an "existential threat" to public health. Not the people who mandated that children take a vaccine that they did not need and which actually murdered a couple dozen of them, but the guy saying "Let's review the necessity and efficacy and safety of vaccines." Strom mentions that once upon a time, he assumed the best of public health officials. Not any longer, of course. I've written about this, but I'll mention it again: My own realization that public health officials consider it a badge of honor to blatantly lie to the pubic about public health -- to convince the uneducated to do what the educated want them to do, through any means necessary, including public disinformation campaigns -- came when I saw CNN's health correspondent Sanjay Gupta interview Obama's head of the CDC during the ebola outbreak. During that outbreak, "The experts" decided to downplay the risk of the disease, instead of being hyper-alarmist. They did so because Obama had decided that the First Black President must never impose a temporary travel ban to any African country, even one in the midst of an ebola outbreak. So the marching orders went out to public health officials to convince the Uneducated Bigots of America that ebola was no big deal, really, You Racists. Obama's CDC director claimed that ebola wasn't a danger for spreading because it could not be spread by "airborne transmission" but only by "direct contact." He said this specifically to allay fears of people on planes, trains, and buses that they could catch ebola from a fellow passenger. Gupta asked, "So there's no risk if someone with ebola sneezes on another passenger? " Obama's lying CDC directed reiterated that "ebola cannot be spread by airborne transmission," asserting that this statement answered the question. But it didn't. Because we later learned that "airborne transmission" refers to disease-carrying bodies remaining in the air for hours and hours after the infected person has left the room. It refers to particles so light that they just "bounce" up and down in the air and don't sink to the ground for days. But a sneeze is not considered "airborne transmission," even though it sounds like it should be, and even though Obama's CDC director insinuated that a sneeze would be a case of airborne transmission and ebola could not be spread by airborne transmission. No, Gupta later told viewers in an update: A sneeze is considered direct contact with the infected person -- the spittle passes directly from them to anyone hit by the spray -- so yes, ebola is easily spread by a sneeze. And Obama's CDC director knew this, but he wanted to lie to the public, per Obama's wish to downplay the outbreak, so he told the world that ebola could not be passed via a sneeze. It was a straight up lie. But he told it because the "experts" had decided that the value of keeping travel open to Africa outweighed Racist Americans' bigoted ideas about ebola being a killer disease that could literally liquify your internal organs, so "The Science" was changed to convince people of the political decision the "experts" had decided was best for them. Earlier this year I started watching House, MD. The main character is an arrogant sociopath who routinely lies to patients about the risks or benefits of a course of treatment. He justifies this by noting that he went to medical school whereas most patients did not, and so he knows the right course of action and they simply don't. When told that this violates the law of informed consent, he snaps back that informed consent is a lie because informed consent is impossible for non-experts. So might as well lie to them or trick them into doing "the right thing," at least according to "the experts." I mention that, of course, because it's not just a trait given to a fictional character on a TV show. There are a lot of people in medicine and particularly in the highly political field of government "public health" who share House's view on the impossibility of true informed consent and therefore the justification for simply lying to people to get them to do the "right" thing. If you meet with a doctor, you're the client. But you are not the client of "public health officials." The government, specifically the President or the state governor, is their client. That's the person they are working for. You are just the rubes they're hustling to sell a product to. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

To admit that children were killed by a vaccine designed to protect them from the effects of a disease that was not terribly dangerous to them would undermine the whole purpose of having mandatory childhood vaccine schedules.
Admitting this is a limited hang-out. Their real problem in defending this is that it appears that the spike protein and the various DNA contaminants in the Covid vaccine are oncogenic. Posted by: Kindltot at December 11, 2025 03:31 PM (rbvCR) 11

One of the core things about the modern bureaucracy is there is never to be punishment for failure to achieve whatever the supposed goal of the bureaucracy is. So pointing out that the NIH, CDC, and FDA all completely failed at COVID and expecting consequences is...wrong. In the old days of course the leadership of each would be fired and maybe proscuted. But the only area the permanent bureaucracy wants consequences for is if people demand accountability like RFK is doing. Posted by: 18-1 at December 11, 2025 03:34 PM (sKqQm) 25

My own realization that public health officials consider it a badge of honor to blatantly lie to the pubic about public health
Mine was when Fauci and the gang decided to announce that a huge wave of heterosexual AIDS was about to sweep the country, to avoid "stigmatizing" homosexuals and injectable drug users, who constituted almost all the actual AIDS cases. At a time when most AIDS cases were occurring in a couple of dozen urban neighborhoods with large quantities of homosexuals and IV drug users, instead of focusing on those neighborhoods, the Federal government was spending hundreds of millions of dollars telling normal high school students that they were at high risk of contracting AIDS.

Most vaccine-caused deaths were never reported to VAERS.

I wandered across a thread last week where a woman had noted that the left wanted to imprison people for not taking the clot shot and to take their kids away.
There were three types of responses from leftwingers: 1) Quoting the effectiveness of other, non-COVID vaccines as if they were being discussed 2) Arguing no leftist anyway want to imprison people for refusing the clot shot or wanted to take their kids away 3) Arguing that we really should have imprisoned dissidents on the clot shot and taken their children away. In fact it was common to see a type 2 response showing up right below a type 3 response... And this is one of the games the left plays Posted by: 18-1 at December 11, 2025 03:40 PM (sKqQm) 65
There are a lot of people in medicine and particularly in the highly political field of government "public health" who share House's view on the impossibility of true informed consent and therefore the justification for simply lying to people to get them to do the "right" thing.

There is a recent French study making the rounds. It shows that the vaccine "resulted of lower all cause mortality" and even reduced things such as car accidents and ingrown toenails.
(I joke about toenails, but car accidents is a tell.) The study is held as defnitive proof, but let me quickly show the flaw. The study looks at the entire French population and then separates out those who got a vaccine and those who didn't. But it uses interaction with health care system as the mechanism to ID those cohorts. See the problem? The vaccinated group all went to Dr. to get vaccine, the unvaccinated group only count if they ... were sick and went to the Dr. Anyway, let me get that out there if anyone is interested.

He justifies this by noting that he went to medical school whereas most patients did not, and so he knows the right course of action and they simply don't. When told that this violates the law of informed consent, he snaps back that informed consent is a lie because informed consent is impossible for non-experts. So might as well lie to them or trick them into doing "the right thing," at least according to "the experts."

While traveling for Thanksgiving, I saw, on MSNBC I think it was, an acknowledgment that yes, the COVID vaccine did kill people. At least, thats what the graphic said, I couldnt hear what they were saying.
But no worries, because the tradeoff was worth it. The graphic compared the chance of death from COVID (possibly adverse reactions, but Im pretty sure it was death) with the chance of catching COVID, and there was no contest. The chance of catching COVID swamped the chance of death from the vaccine. Which leads me to suspect that the chance of death from the vaccine swamps the chance of death from catching COVID.

Back in the 80s there was a bad swine flu vaccine.
It killed/injured a number of people, but it wasn't obvious at first because no one was collecting this type of data. 60 Minutes of all shows did an investigation and it turned out the FDA had ignored test data and then intentionally didn't follow up on investigating as they should have. Hell they had a letter from one employee to his boss saying they needed to get this shot off the market and when they presented it to the boss he claimed he never got the letter... This scandal led to VARS since they needed a single entry point for this sort of data to be able to find bad vaccines in the future. And of course as we know the clot shot ended up having more entries in VARS then all other vaccines over VARS's 30 year history by a factor of more then 1000.

The chance of catching COVID swamped the chance of death from the vaccine.
This is another game the left plays. If you show the data that the clot shot had *no* reduction in your risk of getting COVID they'll tell you no one ever claimed that it did (yeah ignore Biden saying it on national TV and using it as grounds for his mandates). But then later they'll note that if you don't get your shot you are putting grandma at risk... Posted by: 18-1 at December 11, 2025 03:49 PM (sKqQm) 122
I just read a thing linked at Insty where they Dr says:
"But COVID's worse," he added. A case of COVID-19 is about 10 times as likely to induce myocarditis as an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination, Wu said." But this Dr. clearly failed statistics. The "COVID" cohort here are people who presented at hospital. That is maybe 1% of covid actual cases. So 1/1000 who have covid (by his numbers) have myocarditis. But 1/10 of vaccinated do (his number - "10x worse") So it appears "Covid's much worse," in reality, the vaccine is a killer. He is looking at the data and LYING.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, seeing life through the shadows with Otto Preminger at December 11, 2025 03:32 PM (GBKbO) --- Knowing that DC was working behind the scenes to recruit BLM as riot army should Trump win in 2020, I can conceive that we might not have seen "actually masks work!" or possibly even the shutdown. It was mid-2020 when social media started banning people who questioned the legitimacy of mail-in balloting. Even though mass mail-in balloting was not something that was tried and true, and has always had mainline skeptics. I entertain that the powers that be turned America upside down--creating the closest thing to fascism America has ever seen--to fix the 2020 election.

But not Scotland for some reason. The summer they introduced the clot shot their death numbers increased by about a percent.

Attitude has been around.
The Scotus decision in Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905) by a rather progressive court full of undistinguished corporate lawyers (decided the same year as Lochner) said it was perfectly fine for the State of Mass to order compulsory vaccinations on the explicit idea that the needs of the many outweighed the rights of the individual. This is despite the fact that Jacobson could demonstrate past bad reactions to the smallpox vaccine as a child in Sweden and he had already been vaccinated against smallpox. Bad bloviating by progressive justices indicate Jacobson should trust the experts based on experiences in foreign countries. Posted by: whig at December 11, 2025 03:53 PM (WDjG6) 155

In a later season cuddy is seen in thigh highs, garter belt etc. I can still see it in my minds eye. Very appeallingly presented. Most of the medicine is reasonably presented. Except for the fact that his team is shown doing procedures surgeries they would never be able to do in real life.

Trump is not a doctor and is a germophobe. I don’t know what he knew (and neither do you). COVID came out of a PRC bio-weapons lab and might have been much worse. It was NOT an influenza virus, but in retrospect was comparable to a bad, but not very bad, flu epidemic. Think 1968 flu not 1918. The measures taken against it were nonsense and proven not to work by measures taken against the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919. Isolation, masking, and distancing were tried then and made no difference. They didn’t work this time either. I think Trump was manipulated by his advisors like Fauci and Birx, but they, Fauci and Birx, were in on the scam. Frankly, I think Trump was too trusting of people like them and got fooled into “solving” the problem with a dubious “vaccine” technology: the MRNA approach. Again I think Trump didn’t know how dangerous that approach is: he just didn’t know and trusted his “experts” too much.

Trump was naive, but well intentioned. He never called for a national shut-down: that was due to state and community leaders. The mandatory “vaccination” occurred under Biden not Trump. It was not required in my state, and I worked for the state: I never took it. The MRNA based “vaccine” should be outlawed. Some countries are moving in that direction. That is one thing I will hold against Trump. He doesn’t want to admit how badly he was fooled. Let’s hope that once burnt, twice shy applies here. I know I will never blindly accept vaccination again, but will research what it is first. Basically do not accept any MRNA-based shot.

Posted by: Destini Z Depends on state laws in many cases. Public Health is a police power of state governments under the 10th Amendment. But overlaid is the complex regulations of Federal grant and health care programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and Tricare among others. The whole edifice of mandatory vaccinations rests on the very old Jacobson v. Mass case of 1905 where an individual challenged Mass law that ignored the rights of individuals altogether to avoid the vaccination but fined non-compliers with a $5 penalty. Jacobson sued alleging violations of his federally protected civil rights because he had been vaccinated as a child for smallpox in Sweden and sustained a vaccination injury. His argument thus that he was exempt from Mass law because of prior vaccination and individual heightened risk from a new one was brushed aside by the Mass Sup. Ct. US Scotus allowed Mass's fine to stand based on its perverted trust in experts and authority. Continued. Posted by: whig at December 11, 2025 04:06 PM (WDjG6) 216

I had to go to a FedEx office and there was this girl behind the counter, from which I had to stand six feet away, of course. The girl was a soft speaker anyway, but with the face diaper on I couldn't hear a word she was saying. Finally, I just marched up to the counter, and told her I couldn't hear her. That was the only way I was able to hear her and get done what I was there to do.

In that same year, however, the progressive jurists on Scotus were perfectly fine with holding a) that an individual could demand an individual hearing based on individual circumstances as to an improvement district tax, and b) that the state of NY could not mandate health and safety labor laws because individuals had a 14th Amendment based right to contract with employers that superceded such legislation.

Public health officials focus on what is "statistically" beneficial for society. not what is beneficial to you.

But children did not need the "vaccines," meaning that the risks of mandating it to them -- and the deaths that then occurred -- were absolutely unnecessary.
Getting the "vaccines" mandated for children WAS absolutely necessary for the Deep State, because then the "vaccine" is no longer under only Emergency Use Authorization. If I remember correctly, vaccine companies could be sued for health issues and deaths if the "vaccine" remained on the EUA. But once the "vaccine" was mandated for children, it was no longer under EUA and no one could sue for any harm or death that came from the "vaccine". There was complete immunity for the government and the drug companies. That was the entire reason the Deep State pushed for mandating it for children who didn't need it... to prevent lawsuits for all the harm and death it caused.

And many Covid deaths were not Covid deaths, but maybe they died With Covid, and quite possibly the fake vax gave them the Covid (but then the fake vax damaged their heart, or it flared up some old cancer, or killed by other means). The shutdowns and ventilators and wrong approach killed many, most more than anything else.

> Public health officials focus on what is "statistically" beneficial for society. not what is beneficial to you.
It's even worse than that. Because they're cowards who are terrified of being called racist, they force treatments that are only necessary for small segments of the population on everyone. See Hepatitis vaccines for babies for example. Unless you're born into a crack den, you most likely don't need it. But doctors don't want to have that conversation, so they mandate EVERYONE have it. If you try to opt out, they will do their damndest to FORCE it on you. You might even have to deal with a CPS investigation. Posted by: bonhomme at December 11, 2025 04:28 PM (Yp6az) 290

why did they have to rename "attending physician" into "hospitalist
=== Because some doctors have a practic3 where they will see you in the hospital, but also in the office as your primary care doc. Hospitalists only practice in the hospital. They do not become your primary doctor after you are discharged. Also hospitalists are typically employees of the hospital. Not in private practice. At least in the midwest.

Aren't these vaccines supposed to be what we've been waiting for to "go back to normal"? Nope. Why do you think we're getting all these conflicting messages about needing to practice social distancing and wear masks AFTER we get a vaccine? The reason is because these vaccines were never designed to stop transmission OR infection. If you don't believe me, I refer you again to the papers submitted to the FDA I linked to above. The primary endpoint (what the vaccines are meant to accomplish) is to lower your symptoms. Sounds like just about every other drug on the market right? That's it... lowering your symptoms is the big payoff we've been waiting for. Does that seem completely pointless to anyone but me?

The possibility -- perhaps the likelihood -- that a handful of vaccine-related deaths occurred and were downplayed by medical authorities does not undermine the fact that COVID vaccination, on the whole, has prevented death on a massive scale.
(1) "handful" of "vaccine"-related deaths? Handful is 5. There have been a LOT more than 5 "vaccine"-related deaths. (2) It is not a "fact" that the "vaccine" prevented any deaths whatsoever. Considering it did not prevent transmission nor spread of the virus. However, it is an actual fact that the "vaccine" caused harm and death on a large scale.

I can't lose more respect for anyone like the way I lost respect for doctors. I was working as an RN when the whole thing blew up in 2020. I ended the best career I ever had over the stupid shot. Worth it. Extremely personally painful and destructive, but worth it.
I think the reason they killed off the J&J vaccine was not really because of the adverse events. It was the one-dose nature of it, making it impossible to hide the adverse events. When people had adverse events from the J&J vax, nobody could use the rhetorical cover they used with the other two-dose vaccines. That cover being that you are not considered "vaccinated" after one dose. Therefore, "you are not having a reaction to the shot we just fucking gave you, because you haven't been vaccinated yet." I can't believe the straightfaced cons they pulled. And no one will be punished. Because culpability is spread all over our society from top to bottom. It's like murdering Julius Caesar, if everybody has a knife in their hand, then nobody can be punished. Posted by: lauraw at December 11, 2025 05:01 PM (C5EJK) 334

It was good for a season or two, but it just got tedious to me. I can not imagine it being "bingable" at any level. Has binge watching changed what they produce? House was the same story over and over each week -- you can't do that anymore.
I would watch it when it aired and it didn't bother me much until it hit streaming, then seeing how much of an ass House was in a 3 hour stretch made me hate the show when it was just 'meh' before I think having a week between shows would let you decompress from it and you don't remember how awful he was.

Posted by: BUY VIAGRA ONLINE at December 12, 2025 07:09 PM (3Eiv+) Marjorie Taylor-Greene Now Pallin' Around With Terrorist-Supporting Chinese-Funded Antiamerica Group Code PinkThe founder of the left-wing Code Pink organization, Medea Benjamin, hailed outgoing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Wednesday, saying she will "miss" her support for peace. Many on social media expressed shock and criticism at the odd pairing, while some observers mentioned "horseshoe theory" -- the idea that the extremes on the right and left have more in common with each other than with moderates. "We visited Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene today to thank her for becoming such a strong anti war voice in congress and tell her we will miss her," Benjamin wrote in a statement on X. Greene faced heavy backlash for the meeting from conservative commentators who argued it was a betrayal of values. ... Greene herself explained the meeting in a statement on social media, saying he was committed to her anti-war stance. ... "I've learned to find bridges with others and that's how we all win and ultimately leads to peace," she added.I noticed a while ago that some people on the "right" -- the psuedoright, I call it -- seemed to be so happy to finally be able to be frenz with left-wingers that they rushed to adopt their positions. I remember being glad myself that some far-left people like Jimmy Dore seemed kind of based on a lot of issues, like covid vaccinations and Russiagate. It felt good to end the long political war with at least some members of the left. But then I noticed that people like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly weren't just happy to hear Glenn Greenwald and Anna Kasparian agreeing with some rightist positions. They decided to return the favor and begin endorsing some extremist left-wing opinions themselves, like blaming Israel for Hamas' 10/7 massacre and generally adopting the Islamofascist talking point that Islam is a religion of peace and the only group making trouble between Christians and Muslims are, get this, The Jews. Glenn Greenwald is apparently so charismatic that he honeytrapped Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson. He honeydicked them. They've literally all adopted the exact positions held by the far left a year after 9/11. Except they don't just Blame America First, they Blame Israel First, and Blame America Second. Other than that: Identical. In their rush to oppose every part of neoconservativism, they've now made themselves enemies of foundational basic conservatism as well. This isn't the far right, it's the far left.

Apparently the adulation of the MAGA crowd was not enough to hold these turncoats. Of course, once they turn, nobody will trust them for any purpose whatsoever. They will be used and tossed aside.

Posted by: Skip Politicians are like taxis, another one will always be coming along. MTG is a has been by choice and will fade in the fever swamps of political irrelevance soon.

At the end of the day, she was as loyal to MAGA and her constituents that elected her as she was to her husband that she divorced. Posted by: whig at December 11, 2025 02:35 PM (WDjG6) 42

David Strom has a fantastic opinion piece out on this topic today; how so many in the public eye that we thought we could trust have jumped from right to far left almost overnight.
He also makes a good case that Tucker is by far the most dangerous, because he's an intelligent man, not a hormonally driven radical chatty Kathy like MTG. "Tucker regularly uses his platform now to promote absolutist governments and has taken to praising Sharia law. He seems enamored with people like Andrew Tate, who himself converted to Islam at least partly based on his contempt for women, and of course, he gives much more favorable treatment to Nick Fuentes, who loves Stalin and Hitler, than to Ted Cruz, whom he hates with a passion. Fuentes, too, is on a Jihad against women and argues that Islam is right about women. " Tucker is no longer "America First" - he is Qatar First. He is now actively trying to tear down everything Trump is trying to do, from the inside. I mark him as one of the most dangerous men to America alive today Posted by: Tom Servo at December 11, 2025 02:37 PM (uWKK8) 54

Both Putin and the Chinese communists would really like it if the US completely gave up on foreign wars and possibly had a civil one.
When Putin's oligarchs advertised on Facebook for Trump and against Clinton, this wasn't just because they were really, really righteous Christians and patriots. They wanted to get someone like Tucker Carlson. Of course they are unhappy with Trump. Trump is making the US stronger, not weaker, and is still involved abroad, now also with Venezuela. This bodes badly for Putin and the Chinese communists' goals. Posted by: PG at December 11, 2025 02:39 PM (1GUBr) 68

ChatGTP initial release taught me three things.
1. AI was further along at connection words than I had expected. 2. It is really easy to look intelligent if you are good at connection the right words. 3. The will never allow it to reflect the truth because if it did, the entire world of lies would collapse. That second point is key though. I think Tucker and MTG are just really good at looking coherent. They have both revealed that they are stupid grifters who are very practiced at staying the right things to get attention.

Money talks. Truth then walks. I don't have nor ever will have a social media account.

MTG made her $20 million in Congress and quit when she got her pension for life. Same with Tucker and his goofy giggle.Send me your clicks!!! Everyone is a fag! Including, possibly, Tucker? I admit to liking Megan again, after her betrayal in 2016. A bit of a loss but I'll get over it. I never much liked Bug-eyed Owens, the click-me- for $ whore.

In their rush to oppose every part of neoconservativism, they've now made themselves enemies of foundational basic conservatism as well.
=== Exactly. They reject basic conservatism, and it contorts them to hear "Judeo-Christian" , because of the Judeo portion. So they go en masse against Evangelicals, lose their collective shite over "Christian Zionism", and I guess Dispensationalism, because they were raised to believe by their filthy, backward parents and grandparents that the Church erased and replaced the Jews and their Covenant with God. Total heresy, rejected by the Catholic church even, but preached in some quarters by "the enemy". Posted by: runner at December 11, 2025 02:44 PM (g47mK) 91

The problem with neo-conservativism is that we deployed US assets for no benefit with no consideration whatsoever of the lives of American servicemen.
The problem isn't a more general notion that America used force. Trump, at least so far, has been deploying American resources in a much more thoughtful way.

Their entire world is the world of grift.
This is where the Somali fraud stands out -- it was allowed and ignored because everyone in power has a grift, and this was just theirs. Omar went from debt to $30 million in 4 years thanks to that. So people like MTG and Tucker, they see the grift and they don't think "this is bad, I am going to be different," they see it and think "Where can I get some of that?" The answer for them was Qatar and China. Big deal they are now traitors -- everyone in DC is.

Clay and Buck were talking about Jasmine Crocket is running for Senate primary to lose to the R in TX , and then possibly will run for POTUS in the D primary mostly because she wants to get on the View or similar, and running for higher office raises her profilee plus all that sweet campaign cash. Being on TV is much better pay than a mere congress critter gets.
So I wonder if some of these over the top female R HOR pols are having similar calculus. 'maybe its time to try to get a TV job as the *convervative* voice?'

"I noticed a while ago that some people on the 'right' -- the psuedoright, I call it -- seemed to be so happy to finally be able to be frenz with left-wingers that they rushed to adopt their positions."
_____ I think these dickface fucknuggets were always left or at least left-adjacent. It's just that earlier in their "careers," they found less competition in more right-leaning spheres. So they hid or obscured their true lefty aspirations in order to cater to this audience. But then, once they've "made it" they no longer feel the need to fake it anymore. They thus drift to the natural place they always wanted to be: left. This is doubly true when it comes to Israel and DA JOOZ. For a long time, even most lefty Democraps supported (or at least claimed to support) Israel and the Jew's right to exist. Certainly the psuedoright did. But in the last few years, there was such an explosion of outspoken Jew-hate that it was no longer necessary to play the game. They didn't have to hide their hate any more.

Vox Day has already clarified the gatekeeper phenomenon, whereby individuals who 'take the ticket' are artificially elevated into fame/money/success so long as they are considered useful at propagandizing the message the puppet masters want pushed onto the masses.
Once said ticket takers are no longer considered useful, they are thrown away. Ticket takers are just as despicable as all leftards, including RINOs. Posted by: Pete at December 11, 2025 03:06 PM (9uoO8) 208

Yep, absolute conspiracy theory here so skip if you're not into that.
Several prominent conservatives have turned on a dime. It happens, probably grifters. But hear me out. Michelle Malkin was once very influential, then her cousin disappears. Not long after Michelle steps out of the picture. Brian Kemp's daughter's boyfriend dies in fiery crash, Kemp does 180 on election audit. Maybe for Tucker it is Qatar money, MTG and Owens, maybe something else. Maybe grift, maybe messages are being sent and they could step out of the picture, or get paid from a different source. Tim Pool gets shots fired on his property the other day. Someone shot at Trump and no one knows anything about him except some sketchy details. Carry on.

187 the best answer yet, he explains it pretty clearly:
https://tinyurl.com/3v4dtysd Posted by: Tom Servo That analysis hits the nail dead center. Posted by: Sock Monkey ===== Strom nearly hits the target but at the back of all of this is a stark truth. The elites in the West have given up on popular democracy and that means they are willing to consider moving to authoritarianism whether Muslim state-religion, Communism, or Fascism. Elites positively hate now the assorted regular people of the globe that just want to get on with life, have kids, and not worry so much about the future while clinging to their guns and religion. Our ruling elites in the West want us citizens either dead, neutered, impoverished, and subservient to their whims. Nasty critters after ultimate power is the only hypotheses explaining the past half century of policy in the West. Trump, MAGA, and assorted freedom fighters around the world composed of ordinary citizens are in their way for their version of Utopia for them, hell on earth for us. That is the war going on.

I want to use the difficulty of even speaking precisely about what's going on here as a springboard for the difficulty of actual synthetic cognition, which is currently not even being attempted, AI hype notwithstanding.
On the one hand, the MAGA coalition is a big tent of American nationalists, which includes a lot of cultural leftists, from (merely anti-woke) secular tech bros to the "crunchy moms" of MAHA, so leftism by itself isn't a disqualifier. On the other hand, there is actual inconsistency out there, as supposedly conservative NeverTrumpers now reliably spout Democrat talking points, and apparent pan-nationalists make a singular exception for Zionism as the one kind of nationalism they cannot express brotherly respect for. As Pixy Misa reminds us, the LLMs of GenAI are just a fancy auto-complete. But I would go further and say that even if a century from now we got synthetic cognition, we can never offload our thinking and judgement to it, because it can never be sure who to trust either, because that's the hardest puzzle to solve, because it's an opposed task. Every heuristic you can come up with will immediately be life-hacked by con artists to cheat you. Posted by: SciVo at December 11, 2025 03:14 PM (Sy6m/)

-- That is pretty much not at all true. The idea of a political spectrum is a vast oversimplification of what large groups of people support (I'm deliberately not using the word "think"). It assumes that the two political parties represent (LOL) large concentrations of opinion or effectively define the endpoints of debate on a particular topic. In truth, there are a great many axes, one for any significant topic, and only a few of them are getting attention at any particular time. People gravitate towards the group they have most current agreement with, and the weaker minded/less principled ones will adjust their other opinions to fit in.

Can we trade MTG for Bonnie Blue?
Posted by: Anna Puma MTG is a grifting annoying bulldog whereas Bonnie is just a wide-eyed, sad, petite slut. The difference I think that with MTG, she pretends that she is one thing while grifting for money while Bonnie, never pretends and presents herself as she is for all takers.

The original The Bishop's Wife, if only for the 1947 cutting edge special effects. As for A Christmas Carol, I'm partial to the vinyl recording by Barrymore. It's available on Youtube.

Trump fast-tracked the 'vaccine' knowing FULL WELL it wasn't necessary and covid was a flu that a majority of everyone would get through it just fine.
Meanwhile, it's MURDERING MILLIONS around the world. I find that VERY hard to forgive. Trump is not a doctor and is a germophobe. I don’t know what he knew (and neither do you). COVID came out of a PRC bio-weapons lab and might have been much worse. It was NOT an influenza virus, but in retrospect was comparable to a bad, but not very bad, flu epidemic. Think 1968 flu not 1918. The measures taken against it were nonsense and proven not to work by measures taken against the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919. Isolation, masking, and distancing were tried then and made no difference. They didn’t work this time either. I think Trump was manipulated by his advisors like Fauci and Birx, but they, Fauci and Birx, were in on the scam. Frankly, I think Trump was too trusting of people like them and got fooled into “solving” the problem with a dubious “vaccine” technology: the MRNA approach. Again I think Trump didn’t know how dangerous that approach is: he just didn’t know and trusted his “experts”. Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at December 11, 2025 03:45 PM (8lgVD) 315

Cont.
Trump was naive, but well intentioned. He never called for a national shut-down: that was due to state and community leaders. The mandatory “vaccination” occurred under Biden not Trump. It was not required in my state, and I worked for the state: I never took it. The MRNA based “vaccine” should be outlawed. Some countries are moving in that direction. That is one thing I will hold against Trump. He doesn’t want to admit how badly he was fooled. Let’s hope that once burnt, twice shy applies here. I know I will never blindly accept vaccination again, but will research what it is first. Basically do not accept any MRNA-based shot.

One more reason why it's important to agree with who you agree and disagree with whom you disagree -- and they can sometimes be the same person.
Kinda like never meeting your heroes, because they'll disappoint you. Be a fucking grownup. Of *course* they will. They're mere mortals. All or nothing -- especially in politics -- is one of the dumbest postures to take. Posted by: red speck at December 11, 2025 04:00 PM (Ve/HL) 318
